Did you ever had to write 9 nested for-loops?

```auto
for (int i0 = 0; i0 < 2; i0++) { 
    for (int i1 = 0; i1 < 2; i1++) { 
      for (int i2 = 0; i2 < 2; i2++) { 
         ....
            ......

```

I wrote another Sketch to write these 9 lines with for-loops for me, so I don’t have to do it.

You can copy paste the auto-generated code from the direct window in processing:

```auto

void setup() {

  size(800, 600);

  int numberOfDesiredForLoops = 9; 

  for (int i = 0; i < numberOfDesiredForLoops; i++) {
    println ( " for (int i"+i+" = 0; i"+i+" < 2; i"+i+"++) { " );
  }

  println ("");
  for (int i = 0; i < numberOfDesiredForLoops; i++) {
    print ( "i"+i+",");
  }
  println ("");
  println ("");

  for (int i = 0; i < numberOfDesiredForLoops; i++) {
    println ( "}");
  }
  println ("");

  exit();
} // func 
//

```
