random()
The `random()` function in p5.js generates random numbers within a specified range, which is essential for creating unpredictable and dynamic visual experiences in creative coding. A creative coder might use it to introduce variation in their artwork, such as the placement of objects, colors, or even movement. For example, in a game, `random()` can determine when a target appears, adding an element of surprise to keep players engaged.
