Gets the compass heading of the micro:bit in degrees
## 2. Write the code that stores the compass heading into a local variable called 'degrees'.

```blocks

let degrees = input.compassHeading()
```
## 3. Write the 'If statement' that will check if the device is mostly pointing North. Display 'N' on the micro:bit
