Can the Turtle do math?

Yes, KTurtle will do your math. You can add (+), substract (-), multiply (*), and divide (/). Here is an example in which we use all of them:

a = 20 - 5
b = 15 * 2
c = 30 / 30
d = 1 + 1
print "a: "+a+", b: "+b+", c: "+c+", d: "+d 
Do you know what value a, b, c and d have? Please note the use of the assignment symbol =.

If you just want a simple calculation to be done you can do something like this:

print 2004-12

Now an example with parentheses:

print ( ( 20 - 5 ) * 2 / 30 ) + 1
The expressions inside parentheses will be calculated first. In this example, 20-5 will be calculated, then multiplied by 2, divided by 30, and then 1 is added (giving 2).
