How to fix my finite loop?

Nekios

I want it to stop at 100 dots.

float a;
float b;
int dotNumber = 0;
void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
  background(255);
}
void draw() {
  strokeWeight(3);
  a = random(200);
  b = random(200);
  dotNumber = 0;
  while(dotNumber < 100) {
    point(a, b);
    dotNumber = dotNumber + 1;
    print(dotNumber);
  }
}

Format your code. Edit post, select code and hit ctrl+o.

Regarding your question. Draw is executed about 30 fps. In your code, you are calling a for loop that creates 100 points 60 times per second. I modified your code to do what you want:

float a;
float b;
int dotNumber = 0;

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
  background(250);
}

void draw() {

  strokeWeight(3);
  a = random(200);
  b = random(200);

  if ( dotNumber++ < 100) {
    point(a, b);
  }
}

Think of draw() as a while loop. I hope this helps.
