    The document discusses the structure and syntax of Arduino sketches, including that sketches have a setup and loop structure containing blocks and statements, and that comments can be used to explain code. It also overview control structures for sequential, selection, and iteration flow and the use of variables, constants, and operators to perform operations on values.

    1) Syntax 1) Variables

    2) Main structure 2) Constants

    3) Control
    structures

    4) Operators
    Statement
    • Ends with “;”
    • Like a full stop at the end of a sentence in English

    Block
    • Enclosed by {}
    • Has a name in front of first curly bracket
    • Like a “paragraph”
    Comments are ignored by the Arduino IDE.

    Multi-line comment: between /* … */


    /*
    I am a comment
    I am a comment too!
    */

    Single line comment: everything after //

    // This whole line is a comment


    digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // comment here
    1. Open Arduino IDE
    2. Go to File > Examples >
    1.Basics > Blink
    3. Delete all the comments
    4. Identify the statements
    and blocks
    void setup() {
    pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
    Can you identify
    }
    the blocks and
    statements in this
    void loop() {
    example?
    digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
    delay(1000);
    digitalWrite(13, LOW);
    delay(1000);
    }
    void setup() {
    led, OUTPUT); Observe that
    } there are 2
    Blocks.

    void loop() { Recap:


    Blocks are
    enclosed by {}
    }
    void setup() {
    pinMode(13, OUTPUT); Observe that
    } there are 5
    Statements.
    void loop() {
    digitalWrite(13, HIGH); Recap:
    delay(1000); Statements end
    digitalWrite(13, LOW); with “;”
    delay(1000);
    }
    Structure refers to the parts and
    organization of something.

    The Arduino main structure refers to


    the parts which MUST be present in
    every sketch

    void setup() {}
    The setup block contains the “settings” and runs just once when:
    - The Arduino is reset/restarted or turned on
    - New sketch is uploaded

    void loop() {}
    The loop block contains the “main” code and runs continuously
    until:
    - The Arduino is turned off or reset/restarted
    - New sketch is uploaded
    Usually the code will be organized in 3 sections.

    1. Variable declarations
    2. Setup – everything you want to do once
    3. Loop – everything you want to repeat
    void setup() {
    //some thing to do once
    }

    void loop() {
    //insert some pattern to illustrate repeat
    or looping
    }
    Control Flow is the order in which statements and blocks are
    executed

    Control Structures are bits of code that decide the control flow

    Sequential Selection Iteration

    statement block to do block
    Values

    1+1
    Operator
    Operators do something to values.
    - Assignment (=)
    - Arithmetic (+, -, *, /, %)
    - Comparison (==, >, <, >=, <=, !=)
    - Boolean (&&, ||, !)
