#--------Your code below-----------

length_1 = 9
length_2 = 5
length_3 = length_1 + length_2

Ed.Drive(Ed.FORWARD, Ed.SPEED_5, sum)
Ed.TimeWait(length_2, Ed.TIME_SECONDS)
Ed.Drive(Ed.FORWARD, Ed.SPEED_5, difference)
Ed.TimeWait(length_2, Ed.TIME_SECONDS)
Ed.Drive(Ed.FORWARD, Ed.SPEED_5, product)

2.3 Square Driving

Instructions

Using variables to set the length, angle and speed – create a program that moves the Edison in a square.
