Venn Diagram Applet Help

Hi! thanks thats just what i am looking for!

what does the "for = 0 to N-1" stand for?

and also "i"

Thanks again!

OH! sorry about that! i didnt realise it was a for loop! well, i have put together an applet with the aid you've given me, but there is a problem with it...ive started off with 3 circles but they aren't at an equal angular distance for each other...well, in short, i want to make the circles be printed in a triangle shape, like the example page from my initial post...

here is my code if you can be bothered to look at! I would appreciate it a lot!!

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Flower extends Applet {
double x, y;

public void paint (Graphics g){

int n=3;
double angle = 360/n;
int radius = 100;
for(int i=0; i<n; i++) {
x = Math.cos(angle*i)*radius;
y = Math.sin(angle*i)*radius;
g.drawOval((int)x+radius,(int)y+radius,2*radius,2*radius);
}
}
}

I cant thank you enough for helping me so far! you've been extremely helpful, and i thank you a LOT! :)

thats perfect! thank you very much! i didnt even think about converting to radians! thanks!

Just one more question though...if you enter the number of circles drawn to, say 50 circles, they arent quite evenly spaced...Is there anything i can do to fix this?

Otherwise, i must applause you for your GREAT help! you've helped me heaps! :) :) :)
