The first several variables in this example are the same as before. However,

things start to get interesting when we begin to define the variable int

circlePoints = 36;. This variable represents how many points we

would like to use to draw our circle. Now, in a perfect world, we would want

360 points, as this would make a very smooth circular shape. But at the

same time, this would be a large number of points to process, so in this

first version, we begin with 36 points. By choosing 36 sets of coordinate

points, we can establish a coordinate point every 10 degrees. As you can

imagine, manually calculating and programming ...
