Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
a. Define program;
b. Analyze the different Arduino syntax; and,
c. Program the circuit

What is a
Program?
Program is a written language which enables a
computer to perform its function.
[Link]
What is a
Program?
Arduino uses C / C++ Programming language. C was
created by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 -1973 and in 1979,
Bjarne Stroustrup created C with classes known as C++.

pinMode();
is used to configure a specific pin to behave either
as an input or an output.

digitalWrite();
digitalWrite() is the command that allows you to send 5V or
0V to an output pin. digitalWrite() takes two arguments:
what pin to control, and what value to set that pin, HIGH
or LOW.
HIGH = ON

LOW = OFF
delay();
The delay() function lets you stop the Arduino from executing
anything for a period of time. delay() takes an argument that
determines the number of milliseconds before it executes the
next set of code. There are 1000 milliseconds in one.
