Functions: Creating a Rectangle using Arguments
Problem Statement:
Use the function block to create a three rectangles.

Rectangle 1: height = 12 units and width = 20 units.

Rectangle 2: height = 6 units and width = 10 units.

Rectangle 3: height = 3 units and width = 5 units.

You will first begin by assigning arguments in the create rectangle function. Then you will need to assign values to the dimensions of your rectangles.

// Describe this function...
void createRectangle(double x, double y) {
  count = 0;
  while(count < 2) {
    robot.driveDistance(x, radius);
    robot.turnRight(90, radius, trackwidth);
    robot.driveDistance(y, radius);
    robot.turnRight(90, radius, trackwidth);
    count = count + 1;
