Help getting program to count each position

So for this program I had to write and display a bug turning 180 degrees and moving one position right horizontally. How would I get the position number of each bug move to display.

So in the case below I've got position 1 which is bug display. then I move bug three times which should be position 4 correct? How would I do this?

You mainly had to move the position statement.

Awesome I've been staring at this and have been saying that somehow its got to go in there and just couldn't figure it out thank you so much.
