function setup() //if placed in setup, this doesn't do a loop

createCanvas(512, 512);
console.log(random()); //displays random number between 0 and 1 on the console log

}This code above creates an ellipse in random size and within the given conditions in every refresh- width/2, height/2, random() * 250, random() * 250
function setup() //if placed in setup, this doesn't do a loop
{
createCanvas(512, 512);
console.log(random()); //displays random number between 0 and 1 on the console log
}
function draw() //if placed in draw, the code within here creates a loop, creating different ellipses over and over
{
background(255);
ellipse(width/2, height/2, random() * 250, random() * 250); //number between 0 and 1 multipled by 250 for the height and width of ellipse
}
Code placed inside draw creates a loop. In this example code above, it creates the ellipses over and over in given conditions.
var r; //this creates a variable for random
function setup() //if placed in setup, this doesn't do a loop
{
createCanvas(512, 512);
console.log(random()); //displays random number between 0 and 1 on the console log
}
function draw() //if placed in draw, the code within here creates a loop, creating different ellipses over and over
{
background(255);
r = random() // this sets a single value for r to use in the code below
ellipse(width/2, height/2, r * 250, r * 250); //single value of r multiplied by 250 for height and width of the ellipse, since its a single value it creates an ellipse with same size of height and width
}In this code above, I set a single value for random() by creating a variable for r, setting it for the random() value, and using it in the conditions of the ellipse. This then creates ellipses with same height and width.
var r; //this creates a variable for random
function setup() //if placed in setup, this doesn't do a loop
{
createCanvas(512, 512);
console.log(random(50/*minimum*/, 250/*maximum*/)); //displays random number between 0 and 1 on the console log
}
function draw() //if placed in draw, the code within here creates a loop, creating different ellipses over and over
{
background(255);
r = random(50/*minimum*/, 250/*maximum*/) // this sets a single value for r to use in the code below
ellipse(width/2, height/2, r/*remove this, because already set the min and max * 250*/, r/* * 250*/); //single value of r multiplied by 250 for height and width of the ellipse, since its a single value it creates an ellipse with same size of height and width
}In this code above, I set a minimum value of 50 and maximum value of 250 for random function. Then I removed the *250 from the conditions of the ellipse, since I already set the min and max value, it will no longer use any numbers between 0 and 1.
min() function
min(0,1);The min function always takes the smallest number from the set of numbers.
