Codehs — 3.5.5 Hexagon
❌ ✅ Adjust goTo(x, y) to center it. Try (150, 200) . Want a Filled Hexagon? If the exercise allows filling:
function drawHexagon(t, sideLength) for(var i = 0; i < 6; i++) t.forward(sideLength); t.left(60); // Exterior angle
Now go submit that perfect hexagon and watch those green checkmarks roll in! ✅ Modify your function to draw a hexagon of any size from any starting point. Then try drawing a honeycomb pattern! 🐝 3.5.5 hexagon codehs
❌ ✅ Make sure i < 6 (six sides).
If you’re working through the CodeHS JavaScript or Graphics unit, you’ve probably hit 3.5.5: Hexagon . At first glance, it seems simple: just draw a six-sided polygon. But getting the angles right and placing it correctly on the screen can be tricky. ❌ ✅ Adjust goTo(x, y) to center it
hex.beginPath(); for(var i = 0; i < 6; i++) hex.forward(50); hex.left(60);
| Step | Action | Angle turned | |------|--------|--------------| | 1 | Forward (side length) | — | | 2 | Left 60° | 60 | | 3 | Repeat 6 times | — | 🐝 ❌ ✅ Make sure i < 6 (six sides)
After 6 iterations, the turtle has turned 6 × 60° = 360° , returning to its original heading. The shape closes perfectly. ❌ Using right(120) or left(120) ✅ Use left(60) – the exterior angle.
