# This program draws 

from turtle import *

# bgcolor() changes the background color
bgcolor("lightblue")
color("darkgreen")
shape("turtle")
penup()
# The crawl variable is used to 
crawl = 10
# The turn variable is used to
turn = 35

for i in range(50):
    # stamp() is used to 
    stamp()
    # With each loop, crawl is 
    crawl = crawl + 3
    # The crawl variable controls the

I think they mean that you need to finish the comments, since they're not full sentences

Crawl presumably means the turtle moves and stamp should be it drawing a dot or something on the screen.

So each time this for loop is executed (50 times) the turtle will draw a dot, then it will exit the loop and move the turtle forward by whatever the new crawl variable is (10 + 50 * 3) and turn right by turn, which is still 35.

 

I think the formatting of the code you wrote here isn't properly tabbed, so in the case that the move forward and turn right were inside the for loop it would draw a spiral that is getting larger.

If you need help with the turtle library, read this :

It's very basic and should help you out.
