  • Move 1 (North): Walks 20 meters North to reach (0,20)(0, 20).

  • Move 2 (Right/East): Turns right, walks 10 meters East to reach (10,20)(10, 20).

  • Move 3 (Right/South): Turns right, walks 20 meters South to reach (10,0)(10, 0).

  • Move 4 (Left/East): Turns left while facing South, walking 5 meters East to reach (15,0)(15, 0).
