[Tutor] Fwd: Fwd: Turtle

[Hershel Millman]

I entered "import turtle" instead of "from turtle import * ", but it looks as if it did not import the pendown command. Why is that?

import turtle

def drawSquare(size=100):
    turtle.pendown
    turtle.forward(size)
    turtle.left(90)
    turtle.forward(size)
    turtle.left(90)
    turtle.forward(size)
    turtle.left(90)
    turtle.forward(size)
    turtle.left(90)

drawSquare(50)

input ()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Hershel/PycharmProjects/Project 1/practicefornotturtle.py", line 14, in <module>
    drawSquare(50)
  File "/Users/Hershel/PycharmProjects/Project 1/practicefornotturtle.py", line 4, in drawSquare
    turtle.pendown
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'pendown'

Process finished with exit code 1
