turtle.isdown() function in Python

The turtle module provides turtle graphics primitives, in both object-oriented and procedure-oriented ways. Because it uses Tkinter for the underlying graphics, it needs a version of Python installed with Tk support.

turtle.isdown()

This method is used to check whether the turtle is down or not. It doesn't require any argument and return a boolean value as True if the pen is down, False if it's up. 

Syntax :

turtle.isdown() 

Below is the implementation of the above method :

# import package import turtle # to check print(turtle.isdown()) turtle.forward(10) # up the turtle turtle.up() # to check print(turtle.isdown()) # up the turtle turtle.down() turtle.forward(10) # to check print(turtle.isdown()) 

Output :

True False True
