The turtle module provides turtle graphics primitives, in both object-oriented and procedure-oriented ways. Because it uses Tkinter for the underlying graphics, it needs a version of Python installed with Tk support.
turtle.isdown()
This method is used to check whether the turtle is down or not. It doesn't require any argument and return a boolean value as True if the pen is down, False if it's up.
Syntax :
turtle.isdown()
Below is the implementation of the above method :
# import package
import turtle
# to check
print(turtle.isdown())
turtle.forward(10)
# up the turtle
turtle.up()
# to check
print(turtle.isdown())
# up the turtle
turtle.down()
turtle.forward(10)
# to check
print(turtle.isdown())
Output :
True False True
