What does the 'turnRight()' function accomplish in the Planning program?

The 'turnRight()' function in the Planning program is designed to rotate Karel 90 degrees to the right. When this command is executed, Karel changes its orientation from the current direction of travel to the right, effectively allowing it to face a new direction without moving from its current position. This functionality is essential for programming Karel to navigate specific pathways or complete tasks that require precise directional adjustments. Understanding how to effectively utilize the 'turnRight()' function helps in creating more complex movement patterns and achieving the objectives of various challenges within the Karel programming environment.
