While I agree that this is someone's homework, it occur to me that we can mess him up a little more.

He asked for 200 points *uniformly* distributed on (or in) a circle. Well, he did NOT say "uniform random distribution".

So in fact the plot, "on" a circle would be

theta <-seq(0,2*pi, by = pi/100 )  # plus or minus a couple
radius<-1

plot({x,y converted from theta, radius})


I'm not quite sure how one generates 200 uniformly distributed points inside a circle,-- which btw means "on a disc" .

Maybe simply requiring them to be arranged so that all nearest neighbor distances are the same :-)
