Example:
Javascript
function setup() {   createCanvas(550, 300);   textSize(16);     text("Click on the button to create a " +        "new dictionary and get the lowest value",        20, 20);     setBtn =     createButton("Create random dictionary");   setBtn.position(30, 40);   setBtn.mouseClicked(createNewDict);     getBtn = createButton("Get Lowest Value");   getBtn.position(300, 40);   getBtn.mouseClicked(getLowestValue); }   function createNewDict() {   clear();     // Create an object with random values   let obj = {};   for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {     let rk = ceil(Math.random() * 100);     let rn = floor(Math.random() * 100);     rn = (rk > 50) ? rn : -rn;       obj[rk] = rn;       text("Key: " + rk + " : Value: " +          rn, 40, 120 + 20 * i);   }     // Create a dictionary using the   // above values   numDict = createNumberDict(obj);     text("New Dictionary created with values",        20, 80);     text("Click on the button to create a " +        "new dictionary and get the lowest value",        20, 20); }   function getLowestValue() {     // Get the lowest value in the dictionary   let lowestVal = numDict.minValue();     // Display the lowest value   text("The lowest value in the dictionary is: " +        lowestVal, 20, 240);     text("Click on the button to create a " +        "new dictionary and get the lowest value",        20, 20); } |
