setup()
The setup() function is essential for initializing your p5.js sketch. This function runs once at the beginning of your program, setting up the canvas and any initial settings or variables. A creative coder would use setup() to prepare the environment before starting the draw loop, ensuring everything is in place for the artwork to unfold smoothly.
