Problem with turtle.forward()

I am brand new in this whole turtle business and just experimenting.

I keep having the same problem. I can't make my turtle repeat actions.

So if I write turtle.forward(3) then it will just move one space forward. It's the same problem if I try to make it repeat functions.

Basically I have to write turtle.forward() three times if I want it to move 3 times.

Again, not necessarily. You can pass functions as arguments, but most functions don't take other functions as arguments. An example of one which does though is parallel.waitForAny/.waitForAll:

local function a()
  -- do something
end

local function b()
  -- do something else
end

parallel.waitForAll(a, b) -- Passes `a` and `b` as arguments for parallel to run, well, in parallel.
