Notes
- Lavery, Ships of the Line, vol. 1, p. 171.
gollark: You're basically just saying "turnleft" (the variable), which doesn't mean anything, not "call turnleft".
gollark: But you did *not* call `turnleft` and all that stuff, just write it in a line, which is not valid syntax.
gollark: So that means `go` has a value of whatever `turtle.forward` returns. Which is not `turtle.forward`. So even if you called that it wouldn't work.
gollark: It returns a value, though, and when you do `x = turtle.forward()`, `x` is set to that value.
gollark: When you call it, with the brackets at the end, it runs it.
