  // Create the table
  table = new p5.Table();
  
  // Add two columns
  table.addColumn("name");
  table.addColumn("id");
  
  // Add some rows to the table
  let newRow = table.addRow();
  newRow.setString("name", "Suresh");
  newRow.setString("id", 1);
  
  newRow = table.addRow();
  newRow.setString("name", "Ishaan");

function showTable() {
  clear();
  text("The values of a tableRow " +
       "are retrieved using the get() method",
       20, 20);
  
  // Show all the columns present
  for (let c = 0; c < 2; c++) {
    text(table.columns,
         20 + 100 * c, 80);
  }
  
  // Show all the rows currently
  // present in the table
  for (let r = 0; r < 5; r++) {
      
    // Using the name column
    text(table.rows[r].get("name"),
         20, 120 + 20 * r);
