Below is the implementation of the above method with an example :

Example :

Python3

print(turtle.ycor())
turtle.forward(100)

# check y coordinate
print(turtle.ycor())
turtle.right(45)
turtle.forward(100)

# check y coordinate
print(turtle.ycor())
turtle.right(90)
turtle.forward(100)

# check y coordinate
print(turtle.ycor())
turtle.right(45)
turtle.forward(100)
