turtle.pos() method in Python

Last Updated : 15 Jul, 2025

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.pos()

This method is used to find the turtle's current location (x, y), as a Vec2D-vector. This method has the Aliases: pos | position.

Syntax: turtle.pos() or  turtle.position()

Return: turtle's current location in terms of (x, y) coordinate

This function does not require any argument and returns the current position of the turtle in the format (x,y) where x and y represent the 2D vector. The default value is (0.0, 0.0).

Below is the implementation of the above method with some examples :

Example 1 :

Output:
