# compass quiz answers
Create an actual compass to show your direction: North, South, East, or West
## Name
## Directions
Use this activity document to guide your work in the [compass tutorial](/lessons/compass/activity).
Answer the questions while completing the tutorial. Pay attention to the dialogues!
## 1. What is the purpose of the 'compass heading' block?
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
```blocks
let degrees = input.compassHeading()
if (degrees < 45) {
basic.showString("N", 150)
}
```
## 4. Write the 'If statement' that will check if the device is mostly pointing East. Display 'E' on the micro:bit
```blocks
let degrees = input.compassHeading()
if (degrees < 135) {
basic.showString("E", 150)
}
```
## 5. Write the 'If statement' that will check if the device is mostly pointing South. Display 'S' on the micro:bit
```blocks
let degrees = input.compassHeading()
if (degrees < 225) {
basic.showString("S", 150)
}
```
