How to use For loops and While loops to repeat code block

Question

I need the make the 2nd if statement (when a button is pressed) repeat the command 5 times using a for loop, then a while loop for the 3rd if statement

The while and for loops are the things Ive tried but I have not gotten the code to work. It only draws one dot at a random location.

    if (mouseX >= BUTTONX && mouseX <= BUTTONX+BUTTONWIDTH && mouseY >= BUTTONY && mouseY <= BUTTONY+BUTTONHEIGHT) {
        //if click on button, choose random position
        x = (int)random(width);
        y = (int)random(height);
    } else {
        if (mouseX >= BUTTONX && mouseX <= BUTTONX+BUTTONWIDTH && mouseY >= BUTTONY2 && mouseY <= BUTTONY2+BUTTONHEIGHT) {
            for(int a = 0; a <= 5; a++){
                x = (int)random(width);
                y = (int)random(height);
            }
        } else {
            if (mouseX >= BUTTONX && mouseX <= BUTTONX+BUTTONWIDTH && mouseY >= BUTTONY3 && mouseY <= BUTTONY3+BUTTONHEIGHT) {
                int i = 0;
                while(i <= 5){
                    x = (int)random(width);
                    y = (int)random(height);
                    i++;
                }
            } else {
                //if click off button, place dot at mouse location
                x = mouseX;
                y = mouseY;
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

You are computing several values for x and y but you are only going to use the final (5th) values since there is nothing in the loop to use them
