Answer the questions while completing the tutorial. Pay attention to the dialogues!

## 1. What is the purpose of the 'compass heading' block?

|
## 2. Write the code that stores the compass heading into a local variable called 'degrees'.

|
|
|
||
|
|
<br/>

|
|
```
|

let degrees = input.compassHeading()
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||

## 3. Write the 'If statement' that will check if the device is mostly pointing North. Display 'N' on the BBC micro:bit

|
|

}
|
||
|

|
|
||
|

basic.showString("E", 150)
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
