This lesson will allow you to experiment with the mouse, some LEDs and the distance formula.
Let's draw a circle at some random position on the screen. If we move the mouse cursor within the circle,
let's turn an LED on. If we move outside of the circle, let's turn it off.
You'll have to think about what it means for an $(x,y)$ point (the position of the mouse cursor) to be inside of a circle.
mousex() and mousey()
Move the mouse over a dotted box for more information.
Now you try. Can you figure out how to turn the LED on and off by moving the mouse inside and outside of the circle?
Type your code here:

In this exercise, you'll need the same circuit as in this lesson.
Note that this code will not run! Fix the
d= line to compute the distance between the point (xr,yr), which is the center of the circle, and (xm,ym), which
is where the mouse is. Then fix the two if statements that follow, to turn the LED on if d is within the radius
of the circle, and turn it off if not.
