Cannot run turtle module

This is extremely frustrating. I am trying to run a very simple program and I can't even get it to work. I tried searching the forums and googling this specific error but I cannot find anything.

Here's what I wrote:

import turtle as t; t.forward(100)

Here s the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/PC/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python35-32/dae.py", line 1, in <module>
    import turtle as t; t.forward(100)
  File "C:/Users/PC/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python35-32\turtle.py", line 2, in <module>
    turtle.forward(100)
AttributeError: module 'turtle' has no attribute 'forward'

Please help

Your file has name turtle.py and that is why it is being imported in import turtle as t; t.forward(100) instead of original turtle module.

You have to rename your file in order to fix the issue.
