3. Text
To print the word "house", if you write
print house
LOGO sees the word "house" as a command. To enable LOGO to treat the
word "house" as text, there must be double quote marks placed immediately
before and after it.
print "house"
4. Variable name
Placing a colon ":" before a word enables LOGO to read the word as a variable.
In the example above, "forward :n" causes LOGO to read ":n" as a variable
and use it as input to the command "forward."
