  createCanvas(500, 300); 
  textSize(18); 
  
  text("Click on the button to set " + 
       "the values of the table", 
       20, 20); 
  
  setBtn = 
    createButton("Add Table Values"); 
  setBtn.position(30, 40); 
  setBtn.mouseClicked(setTableData); 
  
  // Create the table 
  table = new p5.Table(); 
  
  // Add 5 columns and rows to the table 
  for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) { 
    table.addColumn("Column " + i); 
    table.addRow(); 
  } 
} 
  
function setTableData() { 
  for (let r = 0; r < 5; r++) { 
    for (let c = 0; c < 3; c++) { 
  
      // Get the row of the table 
      let tableRow = table.rows[r]; 
  
      // Set the value at the given 
      // column of the row 
      tableRow.set(c, r + "::" + c); 
    } 
  } 
  
  showTable(); 
} 
  
function showTable() { 
  clear(); 
  text("The values of the table are " + 
       "added using the set() method", 
       20, 20); 
  
  // Show all the columns present 
  for (let c = 0; c < 3; c++) { 
    text(table.columns, 
         20 + 100 * c, 80); 
  } 
  
  // Show all the rows currently 
  // present in the table 
  for (let r = 0; r < 5; r++) { 
    for (let c = 0; c < 3; c++) { 
      text(table.getString(r, c), 
           20 + 100 * c, 120 + 20 * r); 
    } 
  } 
}

} 
  
function setTableData() { 
  for (let r = 0; r < 5; r++) { 
    for (let c = 0; c < 5; c++) { 
      // Set the value at the given 
      // column and row of the table 
      table.set(r, c, 0 + " " + 0); 
    } 
  } 
  
  showTable(); 
} 
  
function modifyTable() { 
  for (let r = 0; r < 5; r++) { 
  
    // Get the row of the table 
    let tableRow = table.rows[r]; 
  
    for (let c = 0; c < 5; c++) { 
  
      // If the index of the table is 
      // a diagonal, set it to "XX" 
      if (r == c)  
        tableRow.set(c, "XX"); 
      if (r + c == 4) 
        tableRow.set(c, "YY"); 
    } 
  } 
  
  showTable(); 
} 
  
function showTable() { 
  clear(); 
  text("The values are added and " + 
       "modified using the set() method", 
       20, 20); 
  
  // Show all the rows currently 
  // present in the table
