Following these rules helps YOU! Knowing where you got your code from and what it does will help when you go back and review your code. It also helps use be conscientious and responsible coders.

Here's an example of borrowed code:

1. # modified/borrowed from https://tgratzer.com/post/tracy-the-turtle/
2. # this code uses modulo and a for loop to step through colors and draw a spiral pattern. (turn angle fixed, sides grow longer)
3. colors=["red","orange","yellow","green","blue","purple"] 
4. speed(0) 
5. bgcolor("black") 
6. for x in range(1200): 
7.      color(colors[x%6]) 
8.      forward(x*.5) 
9.      left(149)

Cite the code! COMMENT right above the borrowed code.
- NOTE: Failure to cite is plagiarism! Failure to cite may result in a zero for an assignment, or, if repeated, failing the class.

Comment what the code does—be explicit!
Do NOT borrow code you do not understand! (We can tell, and we may ask you to explain a line of code and dock points if you cannot.)
- Don't know what line 6 does in the example above? Either delete it, ask about it, or don't use it!
YouTube Videos: If you watch YouTube videos to get an idea of how to do something, or for other support, and you end up using their code, or their formatting (using dot notation differently, different naming conventions, etc.) you should make a comment at the top of your script (.py file)!
No more than 20% code (if you have 100 lines of code, no more than 20 lines borrowed)

When in doubt, use a comment! It will only help you in the future!
