DATA TYPES CONTROL

Assign variables Relational
Primitive Relational Operators
boolean = assign value to a variable == equality == (equality)
byte ; statement terminator > greater than > (greater than)
char , separates parameters in function >= greater than or equal to >= (greater than or
color separates variables in declarations != inequality equal to)
double separates variables in array <= less than or equal to != (inequality)
float /*** Assign variables ***/ /*** Example ***/ < (less than)
int //Format is in variable_type variable_name; if(total == 100){ <= (less than or equal
long int total; //Then do this to)
//Then you can assign a value to it later }
Composite total = 0; ! Iteration
Array //Or, assign a value to it at the same time for
Iteration
ArrayList int total = 0; while
HashMap //Note: use one of the primitive data types while executes statements while the
Object on the left expression is true Conditionals
String ! for loop continues until the test break
XMLElement evaluates to false case
Structure: program structure
/*** while Example ***/ ?: (conditional)
Conversion setup() defines initial enviroment while(total < 100){ continue
binary() properties, screen size, total++; //adds 1 to total default
boolean() background before the draw() } else
byte() draw() called after setup() & executes if
char() code continuously inside its /*** for Example ***/ switch()
float() block until program is stopped for(int i=0; i<100; i++; ){
hex() or noLoop() is called. //Do something here Logical Operators
int() size() size() must be first line in } && (logical AND)
str() setup() defines dimension of ! ! (logical NOT)
unbinary() display in units of pixels || (logical OR)
Conditionals
unhex() noLoop() Stops Processing from executing
code within draw() if if statement evaluates to true
String Functions continuously then execute code
join() /*** Example ***/ else extension of if statement
match() void setup() { executes if equals false
matchAll() size(200, 200); else if extension of if statement
nf() background(0); executes if equals true
nfc() fill(102); /*** if / else / else if ***/
nfp() } if(total == 100){
nfs() void draw() { //total is equal to 100
split() //Draw code here }
splitTokens() } else
trim() ! if(total < 100){
//total is smaller then 100
2D Primitives
Array Functions }
append() point() draws a point else{
arrayCopy() point(x, y) //total is bigger then 100
concat() point(x, y, z)//3D }
expand() line() draws a line !
reverse() line(x1, y1, x2, y2)
Coloring stuff
shorten() line(x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)//3D
rect() draws a rectangle background() sets background color in RGB or
sort()
rect(x, y, width, height) hexadecimal color
splice()
subset() elipse() Draws an elipse background(value1, value2,
ellipse(x, y, width, height) value3)
arc() draws an arc background(hexadecimal_value)
Constants
arc(x, y, width, height, start, stop) fill() sets color for shape
HALF_PI
/*** Arc (portion of circle) ***/ fill(value1, value2, value3)
PI
QUARTER_PI //x & y = coords, width & height = size fill(hexadecimal_value)
TWO_PI //start + stop = starting and end points stroke() sets color for shape
(think angle in radians) of circle in π pie stroke(value1, value2, value3)
! LINK stroke(hexadecimal_value)
arc(x, y, width, height, start, stop) /*** Example ***/
arc(100, 100, 50, 50, PI, 2*PI);//Sad Face //Note call fill or stroke before every shape you
arc(100, 100, 50, 50, 0, PI);//Happy Face are planning on using different colors on each
//Note: Play around with start and stop. Use stroke(#CCCFFF);
PIE constants or math operators PI/3 , .5*PI fill(#FFFCCC);
rect(100,100,50,50);
