Random position subordinated to random positions

I liked this problem and ended up writing a solution:

float height1, height2;
int numBoxes = 5;

void setup() {
  size(800, 800);
  background(255);
  noLoop();
}

void draw() {
  height1 = 0;
  for (int i=0; i<numBoxes-1; i++) {
    height2 = random(height1, height);
    fill(random(255), random(255), random(255));
    rect(0, height1, width, height2);
    height1 = height2;
  }
  fill(random(255), random(255), random(255));
  rect(0, height1, width, height);
}

If you are new to processing and/or Java can I suggest the following resources:

Dan Shiffman’s tutorials are excellent: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw
And a great Java Course: https://learnjavathehardway.org/
