3.4 Drawing a Square

Instructions

Create a function called forward_left(). This functions moves the Edison 10cm forwards and then spins to the left 90 degrees.

Create a second function called draw_square(). Draw square will use forward_left() to draw a square.

Make the Edison travel in a square.
