p5.js is a JavaScript library that starts with the original goal of [Processing](http://processing.org"), to make coding accessible for artists, designers, educators, and beginners, and reinterprets this for today's web.
Since p5 is a JavaScript library, you should learn [Javascript](https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/javascript/) first.

// p5.js has two important functions to work with.
function setup() {
-// the setup function gets executed just once when the window is loaded

function draw() {
-// the draw function gets called every single frame. This means that for a frameRate(30) it would get called 30 times per second.
