PROCESSING: CREATIVE CODING AND COMPUTATIONAL ART

Alas, if there is no tortilla, there is no way to make a burrito. Lastly, notice how the for
loop is used to run through the list of toppings. Using an array for the toppings and the
array’s length property as the limit on the for loop, any number of toppings can be added
to the recipe, and the for loop will automatically loop through the entire array, using the
value of the array’s length property to determine when to stop. Throughout the rest of
the book, you’ll see many similar examples using for loops and arrays.
Finally, here’s a complete Processing implementation that actually uses the class. Enter all
the following code into Processing and run the sketch—or better yet, download the
complete code (BurritoRecipe.pde) from the Download section of the friends of ED site
(www.friendsofed.com/).
