Coding

Question 1

what does const int mean?

Answer 1

means this variable is a number (integer) that cannot change

Question 2

What does pinMode mean?

Answer 2

is a command that means “activate this pin as either INPUT or OUTPUT”

Question 3

What does digitalWrite mean?

Answer 3

is a command that means “send current to this pin; either full (HIGH) or none (LOW)”

Question 4

What is a LED?

Answer 4

Light Emmitiing Diode

Question 5

What is and Arduino Board?

Answer 5

An Arduino board is a programmable circuit board that can be used to power lots of electronic projects.

Question 6

What is IDE?

Answer 6

(integrated development environment)

Question 7

What is a Logic Statement?

Answer 7

In coding, a logic statement is where the code has to pick between something being TRUE or FALSE. This allows us to make our code and products more complex and allows us to do more things.

Question 8

What is int buttonState?

Answer 8

is a variable that can be a number

Question 9

What is digitalRead ?

Answer 9

digitalRead is a command that means “scan this pin and tell us whether current is HIGH or LOW”

Question 10

What is int i ?

Answer 10

int i is a variable that we create as an ITERATOR

Question 11

What is an iterator?

Answer 11

an object used to cycle through arguments or elements present in a collection.

Question 12

What is analogWrite ?

Answer 12

is a command that means “send a specific amount of current (in this case, i) to a pin”

Question 13

What is a while statement?

Answer 13

this allows us to repeat through a series of things until a condition is false.

Question 14

What is a Motor Driver?

Answer 14

The Arduino board does not generate enough power to turn on and operate small DC (direct current) motors. That’s why we use an amplifier in between the Arduino and motor to increase the power so our motors can spin.

Question 15

What does iterate mean?

Answer 15

perform or utter repeatedly.

Question 16

What does delay mean?

Answer 16

wait

Question 17

What is Void loop?

Answer 17

repeates all code

Question 18

What is void setup?

Answer 18

The void setup() is the first function to be executed in the sketch and it is executed only once

Question 19

What does serial.write mean?

Answer 19

put this message on the output screen or the serial port

Question 20

what does it mean when the button is low?

Answer 20

The button is pressed

Question 21

what does anolog mean?

Answer 21

An analog signal can take on any number of values

Question 22

what does serial begin mean?

Answer 22

Serial. begin() establishes serial communication between your Arduino board and another device.

Question 23

What is the simplest logic statement called?

Answer 23

if /else statement

Question 24

What is the thrid type of logic statement?

Answer 24

While

Question 25

What is the second type of logic statement?

Answer 25

Another type of logic statement is the FOR statement. This allows us to iterate through a series of things.

Question 26

What do voidsetups void loops and logic statements msut have at the bginning and end?

Answer 26

squiggly brackets

Question 27

What is the order when coding?

Answer 27

Variable Decleration
Void setup
Voidloop

Question 28

What is the short side of a LED

Answer 28

negative

Question 29

What is the long side of an LED

Answer 29

positive

Question 30

What is another word for the microcontroller?

Question 31

Another word for code

Answer 31

sketch

Question 32

what is the language called?

Answer 32

c++

Question 33

what is variable deceleration?

Answer 33
