draw a simple house can be made from a square with a triangle on top:
to house

Variables
Logo can interpret a string of characters in four ways:
1.
Numeric value
The strings “123” and “25.6” are recognized as numeric values.
2.
Command
The strings “square” and “triangle”, when created in the routines defined
above, are recognized as commands.
3.
Text
To print the word “house”, if one writes 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 it. It also can
be written as 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” enables Logo to read “:n” as a variable and
use it as input to the command “forward.”
