Hello !
I have a quick question about loops.
For example, I have a 1 * 1 square and its inscribed circle tangent
i, whose radius, of course, is also 1.
The loop here is as the following:
generate n points, say 5, in the square randomly repeatedly until we
have five in total in the circle, then we stop, otherwise we continue.
I do not know how !
Help me Please ~
Thank you very much for your time.
Yours

What part don't you know how to do? Sounds like homework (especially
with the piteous appeals from a pseudonym), so we expect more evidence
of effort on your part.
The condition for being "outside", assuming this box's lower left-hand
corner is (0,0) is
(x-0.5)^2 + (y-0.5)^2 > 1
