{% hint style="info" %}
As mentioned, the Predict stage is designed for students to discuss a program & <mark style="color:blue;">**predict**</mark> what it might do
{% endhint %}

Let's try it firsthand by reading the code and predicting what may happen.

### Example 1

Take a look at the following code created using turtle python.

```python
forward(50)
left(90)
forward(100)
left(90)
forward(50)
left(90)
forward(100)
left(90)
```
