Paint the background

What we are doing

Our first drawing: the whole canvas gets an almost black background.

```js
ctx.fillStyle = '#18181b'
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)
```

What it means

• ctx.fillStyle = '#18181b' picks the fill color.
• ctx.fillRect(x, y, width, height) fills a rectangle. 0, 0 is the top-left corner; canvas.width and canvas.height (360 and 560) make it cover everything.

Your turn

Under const ctx = ..., leave an empty line and write the two lines. Press Run.
