Hi @MoonAlien822 ,

When you post a question on the forum, can you give more details about what you are actually trying to do ? (rather than putting the question in the title)

What doesn’t work with your current code? What’s the end goal?

It would help us answer your questions! 😉

Make this to:

```auto

color colorFromGet = get(x,y); // store in a variable

if ( colorFromGet == pas ) // compare
     println("Same"); // Hooray! 

```

It is the response that prints to the console that answers your question of whether “get” is the same value as “color”.  
On the flip side, if it is **not** equal in value then nothing prints in the console.

Hello,

There are lots of resources (tutorials, references, examples, etc.) here:  
_[processing.org](http://processing.org/)_

Check out the examples that come with Processing.  
These are in the menu under _File \> Examples…\>_ :

![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/2X/3/35f05e0e0227932c25f0c7f86269d86609c2c294.png)

Other resources:

- Coding Train on YouTube [Coding Train](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw)
- [Processing Tutorials - Happy Coding](https://happycoding.io/tutorials/processing/)

I encourage you to peruse the resource’s available to you on the Processing website and the examples in the Processing app.

I go through these often and learning something new each time.

It will get easier.

`:)`
