Actual Behavior

For a sketch that declares a variable 'row', the editor produces the following warning:

🌸 p5.js says: you have used a p5.js reserved function "row" make sure you change the function name to something else.

+ More info: https://p5js.org/reference/p5/row 

But there doesn't appear to be a 'row()' function in the reference (link in warning message leads to 404).

Following sketch demonstrates: https://editor.p5js.org/creativecoding/sketches/L03aiuGIu

Tested with 1.11.11 and 1.11.13 versions of p5js.

Expected Behavior

This issue appears to be resolved in p5.js version 2.0.0. In previous versions, including 1.11.11 and 1.11.13, the editor produces a false warning when using row as a variable name, due to an internal check mistakenly flagging it as a reserved function.

Rename the Variable: Temporarily renaming the variable row to something else (like myRow or rowNumber) will eliminate the warning in the current versions of p5.js.

Check for Updates: If you're using p5.js in a project and don't want to rename your variable, upgrading to p5.js 2.0.0 should resolve the issue. Make sure to update your library to the latest version.

Version 2.0.0

Previous Version (<2.0.0)
