Statements are the elements that make up programs. The
";" (semi-colon) symbol is used to end statements. It is called the "
statement terminator". Comments are used for making notes to help people better understand programs. A
comment begins with two
forward slashes ("//").
// The createCanvas function is a statement that tells the computer
// how large to make the window.
// Each function statement has zero or more parameters.
// Parameters are data passed into the function
// and are used as values for telling the computer what to do.
function setup() {
createCanvas(710, 400);
}
// The background function is a statement that tells the computer
// which color (or gray value) to make the background of the display window
function draw() {
background(204, 153, 0);
}​
