Example 1: This example uses nf() function to format the input numbers into strings.
function setup() {        // Creating Canvas size     createCanvas(450, 200); }   function draw() {            // Set the background color     background(220);          // Initializing the Numbers     let num1 = 345;     let num2 = 12.3;     let num3 = .5;     let num4 = .05;     let num5 = 0;     let num6 = 0.7;           // Calling to nf() function.     let A = nf(num1, 4, 3);     let B = nf(num2, 4, 2);     let C = nf(num3, 5, 3);     let D = nf(num4, 2, 3);     let E = nf(num5, 2, 2);     let F = nf(num6, 4, 3);           // Set the size of text     textSize(16);            // Set the text color     fill(color('red'));          // Getting formatted String     text("Formatted String is: " + A, 50, 30);     text("Formatted String is: " + B, 50, 60);     text("Formatted String is: " + C, 50, 90);     text("Formatted String is: " + D, 50, 110);     text("Formatted String is: " + E, 50, 140);     text("Formatted String is: " + F, 50, 170); } |
