Random Points

• The random function gives you a random number.  For example, random(5) returns a 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.  random(63) gives you a random number between 0 and 62.  

• Here is a program I wrote

strokeWeight(4);

point (random(400),random(400));

point (random(400),random(400));

point (random(400),random(400));

point (random(400),random(400));

point (random(400),random(400));

point (random(400),random(400));

point (random(400),random(400));

point (random(400),random(400));

point (random(400),random(400));

point (random(400),random(400));

Type it in and run it a couple of times.  Notice how the output changes each time you run the program.

Change the stroke to random and get colored points

stroke(random(255), random(255), random(255))
