How to print a line for Hare Tortoise race

asya (27)
I have the program for the simulation of the race between Hare and Tortoise. The tortoise and the hare move randomly until they reach position 70. It works fine, but I need to make the output look like this "______H_____". I don't know how to make the line print. Now it prints like that " H ". I need to add it to the positions(), but I don't know how.
