Can you use noLoop with nested for loops? I have an assignment that states to create a grid shown in my lesson and observe what it does. Then it says to add the noLoop() function and observe what it does. I have done everything the assignment says to do…when i add the noLoop() function, nothing changes.

I guess my question is…Should i see a difference?

Hello,

The reference for noLoop() explains what this function does.

Try the first example in the reference with and without noLoop().
