get()
The `get()` function in p5.js retrieves the color of a pixel or a region of pixels from the canvas. Creative coders might use it to sample colors dynamically for effects or interactions, such as creating a color palette based on user input. Imagine you have a canvas filled with colors, and you want to pick a specific shade to use elsewhere in your artwork—it’s like dipping your brush into a paint palette to select the exact hue you need.
