 Below is one of the simplest Processing programs you can write. When executed, it will print an important message about cranberries.

-This is an example of a program written in what Processing calls its Basic Mode. In Basic Mode, the program's execution will begin at the first statement in the source code file. It will then continue statement-by-statement until it reaches the end of the file. Here's a program with two statements:

-Processing's Basic Mode is an extremely easy way to program. However, the rules of Basic Mode state that you are not allowed to define any functions in Basic Mode--which as we shall see later is quite a serious limitation. Therefore, for the remainder of this text we are going to pretend that Processing's Basic Mode doesn't exist and focus entirely on what Processing calls its Continuous Mode--described next.

 === Processing with an entry point ===
-Processing will automatically switch to Continuous Mode when you define at least one function in your program. (This is why you are not allowed to define functions in Basic Mode.) In Continuous Mode, Processing will look for a definition of a function called **''%%setup%%''** and use this function as the point where the programs execution begins. Below is the Continuous Mode equivalent of the Basic Mode example above.

 This program consists of a definition of the ''%%setup%%'' function that has only one statement in it. If you run this program, you will discover that it too prints out an important message about cranberries.
