INTRODUCTION OF COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

Computer Program – Is a list of instructions that the computer machine
follows to properly accept input, correctly process them and present the
results in the most understandable way.
Computer Programming – is considered to be an art and at the same
time a science. It is an art because there is no standard way to interpret a
problem and solve it using a standard form of programming procedures
and styles. It is fast becoming a science because standard programming
practice is starting to be adopted.
Programs fall into two major classes:
• Application Programs – application program is one that carries out
some function directly for a user, such as word processing or game-
playing.
• Operating Systems – operating system is a program that manages the
computer and the various resources and devices connected to it, such
as RAM (random access memory), hard drives, monitors, keyboards,
printers, and modems, so that they may be used by other programs.
A programmer uses another type of program called a text editor to write
the new program in a special notation called a programming language.
With the text editor, the programmer creates a text file, which is an ordered
list of instructions, also called the program source file. The individual
instructions that make up the program source file are called source code.
At this point, a special applications program translates the source code
into machine language, or object code — a format that the operating
system will recognize as a proper program and be able to execute.
Three types of applications programs translate from source code to object
code:
• Compilers – Computer software that translates (compiles) source code
written in a high-level language (e.g., C++) into a set of machine-
language instructions that can be understood by a digital computer's
CPU. Compilers are very large programs, with error-checking and other
abilities
• Interpreters – Is a computer program that directly executes instructions
written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them
previously to have been compiled into a machine language program. An
interpreter generally uses one of the following strategies for program
execution:
o Parse the source code and perform its behavior directly;
o Translate source code into some efficient intermediate
representation and immediately execute this;
o Explicitly execute stored precompiled code made by a compiler
which is part of the interpreter system
• Assemblers – Is a program that converts assembly language into
machine code. It takes the basic commands and operations from
assembly code and converts them into binary code that can be
recognized by a specific type of processor. Assemblers are similar to
compilers in that they produce executable code

Computer is composed of:
1. CPU (Central Processing Unit) – this is where all mathematical and
logical forms of processing are done on data.
2. Memory – before a computer can do any productive work such as
programming, it has to remember things such as data it needs to
produce information.
3. Input and Output Device – data have to come into the computer by
first entering them through input devices. Ex. Keyboard. After the
computer executes a program to process data and produce
information, this information remains in the memory. Part of the
program has to show these results to the outside world. Output devices
such as monitor screen and printers are used to display the results to
the user.
4. Software – computers today come bundled with some software
already installed in them. Operating System – performs for the
programmer many tasks that used to be very difficult to program
Two forms of Memory
• Internal Memory (RAM-Random Access Memory) – stores programs
and data that are executed and processed by the computer.
• Secondary Memory – supplements RAM so those computers are able
to permanently save programs and data that are not yet needed for
execution and processing. Ex. Floppy disk, hard disk & etc.
The following are standard Operating System functions.
• Validating user identification every time the user uses the computer
• Provides standard functions like editor, compilers and linkers
• Manages files of the user by providing functions like Copy, Delete,
Append
• Retrieves data out of data files
• Manages memory for the user by determining where in the memory a
program is to be loaded every time it is called to run
• Makes communication between the CPU, Memory and input/output
devices transparent to the user or the user are unaware of these things
while they are at work.

High level languages
• Programming languages that are closer to human language than to
machine language. They are characterized to use common English
words as their instructions. Aside from that, high level languages have
the following characteristics:
• Requires additional step of compilation or translation so that from high-
level, another program that has exactly the same meaning and intended
results in low-level or machine language can be generated and loaded
into the computer and executed.
• A compiled program is usually not as efficient as when the program was
originally written in machine language or assembly. This is due to the
fact that compilers add a lot of extra overheads in terms of memory and
non-optimized logical translations.
Each of these programming languages was designed to solve particular
kinds of problems.
• COBOL – Common Business Oriented Language was designed to
solve business problems like accounting.
• FORTRAN – Formula Translation is a high level language used for
scientific and engineering applications.
• Pascal and C – are general-purpose language. They are high-level
language but they can be embedded with assembly language code
effectively making these languages middle-level languages. C language
is responsible in the implementation of major software including
operating systems, compilers and software development tools
The Simplest computer programs perform three basic operations:
• Get the input from the keyboard.
• Process the input data.
• Display the results on the screen.

Programming Language
• A programming language is a set of rules that provides a way of telling a
computer what operations to perform.
• A programming language is a set of rules for communicating an
algorithm
• It provides a linguistic framework for describing computations
• The grammatical rules are called syntax.
• Each programming language has a different set of syntax rules.
Why are there so many programming languages?
• Programming languages have evolved over time as better ways have
been developed to design them.
o First programming languages were developed in the 1950s.
o Since then thousands of languages have been developed.
• Different programming languages are designed for different types of
programs.
Classification of Programming Language
Programming Languages - Generations

Low-Level Language:
• Machine code and Assembly code
High-Level Language:
• A programming language that allows programs to be written using
English keywords and is platform independent
Low-Level Language:
• Advantages
o Achieves a smaller memory footprint (compact).
o Achieves better code optimization and therefore code will run
faster and more efficiently.
o Allows direct manipulation if the registers on the processors,
giving high levels of control.
o Processors in these systems may be slow and have limited
memory so the efficiency of assembly language or machine code
is needed. Also useful real time control systems where speed is
very important.
o Since you are writing at machine level you control the level of the
code created.
o Can be easily modified.
• Disadvantages
o More difficult to understand, maintain and debug than high level
languages.
o More difficult to write without making errors.
o Machine dependent making it difficult to port to a different
instruction set processor Memory addresses and operations
have to be remembered Low Level Languages.

HIERARCHY OF HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGES
13
High Level Languages
• High level languages are problem-orientated whereas low level
languages are machine-orientated.
• Problem-orientated means that the commands and the way the program
is structured are based on what the program will have to do rather than
the components of the computer it will be used with.
• This means that programs of high level languages are portable. These
programs can be written on one computer and then executed on
another.
• There are many types of high level languages, each is written to cope
with the demands of specific types of problems. E.g. some are designed
for scientific applications, manipulating databases, creating web pages
etc.
• There are 2 classified groups of high level languages
o Imperative

ALGORITHM
14
What is an algorithm?
• A set of steps to accomplish a task
• An algorithm is a sequence of unambiguous instruction
• An algorithm is a well-defined procedure that allows a computer to
solved a problem.
• An algorithm is a self-contained step-by-step set of operation to be
performed to solve a specific problem.
How to write an algorithm?
• Keep in mind that algorithm is a step-by-step process.
• Depending upon programming language, include syntax where
necessary.
• Include variables and their usage.
• If they are any loops, try to give sub number lists.
• Try to give go back to step number if loop or condition fails.
• Use jump statement to jump from one statement to another.
• Try to avoid unwanted raw data in algorithm.
• Use break and stop to terminate the process.
Characteristics of an Algorithm
• Unambiguous − Algorithm should be clear and unambiguous. Each of
its steps (or phases), and their inputs/outputs should be clear and must
lead to only one meaning.
• Input − An algorithm should have 0 or more well-defined inputs.
• Output − An algorithm should have 1 or more well-defined outputs, and
should match the desired output.
• Finiteness − Algorithms must terminate after a finite number of steps.
• Feasibility − Should be feasible with the available resources.
• Independent − An algorithm should have step-by-step directions, which
should be independent of any programming code.
Two forms of Algorithm:
• Pseudocode
• Flowchart

ALGORITHM: PSEUDOCODE
15
Pseudocode
Pseudocode essentially is English with some defined rules of structure and
some keywords that make it appear a bit like program code. Some
guidelines for writing pseudocode are as follows.
Pseudocode Guidelines
• The keywords used for pseudocode in this document are:
1. for start and finish
BEGIN MAINPROGRAM, END MAINPROGRAM
2. for initialization
INITIALISATION, END INITIALISATION
3. for subprogram
BEGIN SUBPROGRAM. END SUBPROGRAM
4. for selection
IF. THEN, ELSE, ENDIF
5. for multi-way selection
CASEWHERE. OTHERWISE. ENDCASE
6. for pre-test repetition
WHILE. ENDWHILE
7. for post-test repetition
REPEAT. UNTIL
• Keywords are written in CAPITALS.
• Structural elements come in pairs,
o for every BEGIN there is an END
o for every IF there is an ENDIF. etc.
• Indenting is used to show structure in the algorithm.
• The names of subprograms are underlined.
o This means that when refining the solution to a problem. a word
in an algorithm can be underlined and a subprogram developed.
This feature enables the use of the 'top-down' development concept.
where details for a particular process need only be considered within the
relevant sub-routine.

Flow Charts
• A drawing that uses symbols interconnected with lines to represent the
flow of information
• A process flow diagram that illustrates the successive steps in a
process, procedure, system or model.
• A pictorial representation showing/describing all of the steps of a
process being studied or even used to plan stages of a project. Flow
charts tend to provide people with a common language or reference
point when dealing with a project or process.
Purpose of Flow Charts
A Flowchart is used for:
1. Defining and analyzing processes
2. Building a step-by-step picture of the process for analysis, discussion,
or communication purposes
3. Defining, standardizing, or finding areas for improvement in a process
By visualizing the process, a flowchart can quickly help identify bottlenecks
or inefficiencies where the process can be streamlined or improved.
Basic flowcharting shapes and symbols
Flowcharts use special shapes to represent different types of actions or
steps in a process and Lines and arrows show the sequence of the steps,
and the relationships among them.
Start/End – The terminator symbol marks the starting or ending point the
system. It usually contains the word "Start" or "End."
Action or Process – A box can represent a single step ("add two cups of
flour), or and entire sub-process ("make bread") within a larger process.
Decision – A decision or branching point. Lines representing different
decisions emerge from different points of the diamond.

Connector – Indicates that the flow continues where a matching symbol
containing the same letter) has been placed.
Flow Line – Lines indicate the sequence of steps and the direction of flow.
Input/ Output – Represents material or information entering or leaving the
system, such as customer order (input) or a product

Common Types of Flowcharts
There are four flowchart types that are particularly versatile. These four
common diagrams are great for describing business, manufacturing, or
administrative processes, seeing how an organization functions, or how
different departments work together.
1. The Process Flowchart
Illustrate How a Process Works or Plan a Project with a Process
Flowchart
A process flowchart or process flow diagram is probably the most
versatile of the four commonly used flowchart types because it can be
applied to virtually anything.
• Map out roles and responsibilities within an organization to gain
clarity.
• Draw up a proposal for a new process or project to understand its
scope and steps.
2. The Workflow Chart
Understand How Data and Documents Flow Within Your Organization
A workflow chart shows the way a business or process functions. This
type of workflow diagram can be used to:
• Train new employees
• Discover potential problem areas
• Clarify business operations by showing a high-level overview
3. The Swimlane Flowchart
Describe How Separate Departments, Processes or Employees
Interact
The swimlane flowchart comes in handy when you need to show
multiple flows of information side by side. Swimlane diagrams might
sound really similar to a workflow diagram, but the key here is that it
allows you to create different categories where activity takes place.
A swimlane flowchart or diagram is great for documenting a whole
process that interacts with different segments of an organization or
requires collaboration among different teams.
4. The Data Flowchart
See Where Data Flows In and Out of an Information System with a
Data Flow Diagram
A data flowchart or data flow diagram shows the way data is
processed. It comes in handy when you want to design or analyze a
system. Although most often used for software development and
design, it can be used to analyze any type of information flow, like how
information moves through a business.

Steps for creating a flowchart are:
1. Familiarize the participants with the flowchart symbols
2. Brainstorm major process tasks. Ask questions such as "What really
happens next in the process? ", "Does a decision need to be made
before the next step? ", or What approvals are required before moving
on to the next task?"
3. 3Draw the process flowchart using the symbols on a flip chart or
overhead transparency. Every process will have a start and an end
(shown by elongated circles). All processes will have tasks and most
will have decision points (shown by a diamond).
4. Analyze the flowchart for such items as:
• Time-per-event (reducing cycle time) 0 Process repeats (preventing
rework)
• Duplication of effort (identifying and eliminating duplicated tasks)
• Unnecessary tasks (eliminating tasks that are in the process for no
apparent reason)
• Value-added versus non-value-added tasks
CONSTRUCTION/INTERPRETATION tip for a flow chart.
• Define the boundaries of the process clearly.
• Use the simplest symbols possible.
• Make sure every feedback loop has an escape.
• There is usually only one output arrow out of a process box. Otherwise,
it may require a decision diamond.
• Analyze flow chart of actual process.
• Analyze flow chart of best process.
• Compare both charts, looking for areas where they are different. Most of
the time, the stages where differences occur is considered to be the
problem area or process.
• Take appropriate in-house steps to correct the differences between the
two separate flows.

Tips for Effective Flowcharts
1. Label each flowchart with a title identifying the process that it
illustrates. (For example: Entry Process").
2. Clearly indicate the starting and ending points of the process, using the
standard terminator symbols.
3. Keep the direction of flow consistent. Avoid confusion by keeping your
flow lines moving from top to bottom and left to right. Don't reverse the
direction in the chart unless the flow reverses itself in reality.
4. Break the steps down to a consistent level of detail. Don't include trivial
sub-steps of one task while treating another equivalent task as a
whole. If one step or task needs to be analyzed in detail, make a
separate chart illustrating that sub-process.
• You can hyperlink the shape representing a sub-process that,
illustrates it, allowing users to "drill down" for more detail.)
5. Avoid crossing flow lines. In a well-designed chart, flow lines will not
cross each other. By rearranging a chart, you can usually get rid of
crossed lines. If two lines must cross, use a "bridge" (also known as a
"line hop") to show that the lines do not intersect.
6. Make sure there are at least two no outcomes from every decision
diamond.
7. Label your flowchart components. Use active verbs to label activity
steps and questions to label decisions. Clearly label the form a
decision diamond in terms that answer the question.

DATA TYPES
21
Data Types
• A data type defines a set of values and a set of operation on those
values. A C++ program may need to required different type of data.
Each type required different type of memory.
• It indicates the type of data that can be store in a variable
• There are three basic data type.
o Character
o Integer
o Float
Character data type
• This data type is used to store character values.
• Characters may include letters, digits and punctuation character. It take
one byte in memory i.e. ‘a’ and ‘@’ etc.
• Represented by the “char” data type.
• The “short” data type is the same size as “char” usually one byte.
• The character variable can store only one character
• The Character range is “-128 to 127”
We can declare it as below.
Char a= ‘A’
Char f= ‘B’
Char z= ‘D’ etc
Integer data type:
• A numeric value with no fraction is called integer data. It include both
positive and negative values.
• Represented by “int”
• Int range –32,768 to 32,767
• Some example of integer value are 56 and -12
• Int size is ‘2’ bytes
• Long int size ‘4’ bytes
We can declare it as below.
Int a=20;
Int b=40;
Int c=30;

DATA TYPES
22
Type of Integer data type
Int data type
• To store integer values and takes two byte in memory. i.e. int num;
Long int data type
• To store large integer value. It has greater range and takes ‘4’ bytes in
memory. i.e. long int num;
Float data type:
• A numeric value with fraction is called real data type / float data type. It
include both
• Positive and negative values. i.e. 12.4 and -34.3
• This data type are represented by “float”.
• Float number are declared as
Float a= “40.00”
Float b= “23.04”
Float c= “10.3” etc.
Type of float
• Float data type
o This data type is used to store real values and
o Takes ‘4’ bytes in memory. i.e. Float num;
• Double data type
o It has great range as compared to float and takes ‘8’ byte in
memory. i.e. Double num;

DATA TYPES
23
Variable
• A quantity whose values may change during the execution of the
program is called variable.
• It may be a numeric or non-numeric quantity
• It represented by an identifier called variable name
• A variable represents a memory location in the computer memory. Data
is store into the memory location. The name of memory location or
variable name remains fixed during the execution of the program but the
data store in that location may change from time to time
Variable Declaration
• A variable is case sensitive, that is, uppercase variables are treated
differently
• Variable “SUM” is different from variable “sum”
• Variable “NetPay” is different from variable “NETpay”
Rules for variable Declaration
• Variable may include letter, number and underscore (_)
• The first latter of the variable must be character or underscore.
• Blank spaces special symbols, commas are not used
• A variable can be ‘31’ character long for many compilers
• Key word are not used as variable name.

Introduction
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use
hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a
sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an
output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something
online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions
to the microcontroller on the board.
What is Arduino?
• Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use
hardware and software.
• Arduino boards are able to read inputs and turn it into an output.
• You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the
microcontroller on the board.
• Arduino was born at the Ivrea Interaction Design Institute
• Easy tool for fast prototyping
• Aimed at students without a background in electronics and
programming.
Why Arduino?
• Arduino has been used in thousands of different projects and
applications.
• The Arduino software is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough
for advanced users.
• It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Teachers and students use it to
build low-cost scientific instruments or to get started with programming
and robotics.
• Arduino is a key tool to learn new things.
• Anyone can start tinkering just following the step-by-step instructions of
a kit, or sharing ideas online with other members of the Arduino
community.
Inexpensive – Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to
other microcontroller platforms.
Cross-platform – The Arduino Software (IDE) runs on Windows,
Macintosh OSX, and Linux operating systems. Most microcontroller
systems are limited to Windows.
Simple, clear programming environment – The Arduino Software (IDE)
is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users to
take advantage of as well.
Open source and extensible software – The Arduino software is
published as open source tools, available for extension by experienced
programmers.
Open source and extensible hardware – The plans of the Arduino
boards are published under a Creative Commons license, so experienced
circuit designers can make their own version of the module, extending it
and improving it.

arduino.cc TYPES OF ARDUINO: UNO
26
Arduino Uno
Processor: ATmega328 (8-bit CPU, 16MHz clock speed, 2KB SRAM,
32KB flash storage)
Features: 14 digital I/O pins, 6 analog input pins, removable
microcontroller
Form Factor: 2.7” x 2.1” rectangle
The Arduino Uno is the most “standard” Arduino board currently on the
market, and is probably the best choice for beginners just getting started
with the platform. The board is compatible with more shields (add-on
boards) than other models.
The Uno’s main limitation is the ATmega328 chip, which doesn’t have a lot
of SRAM or flash memory. That limit’s the kinds of programs you can load
on the chip – if your project involves a display or otherwise needs to store
and use any form of images or audio data, 2KB of memory probably isn’t
going to be enough.

arduino.cc TYPES OF ARDUINO : MEGA
27
Arduino Mega
Processor: ATmega2560 (8-bit CPU, 16MHz clock speed, 8KB SRAM,
256KB flash storage)
Features: 54 digital I/O pins (15 PWM), 16 analog input pins, 4 UARTs, 16
MHz crystal oscillator
Form Factor: 101.52mm x 53.3mm rectangle
The Mega is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. The
Mega is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino
Duemilanove or Diecimila. It is intended for comparatively bigger projects
requiring a large number of input and output pins.

Arduino Nano
Processor: ATmega328 (8-bit CPU, 16MHz clock speed, 2KB SRAM,
32KB flash storage)
Features: 22 digital I/O pins, 8 analog input pins
Form Factor: 18mm x 45mm rectangle
The Arduino Nano is a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly board
based on the ATmega.328 (Arduino Nano 3.x). It has more or less the
same functionality of the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package.
It lacks only a DC power jack, and works with a mini-B USB cable instead
of a standard one.

Arduino Mini
Processor: ATmega328 (8-bit CPU, 16MHz clock speed, 2KB SRAM,
32KB flash storage)
Features: 14 digital I/O pins, 8 analog input pins, 16 MHz crystal oscillator
Form Factor: 30mm x 18mm rectangle
The Arduino Mini is a small microcontroller board originally based on the
ATmega168, but now supplied with the 328 (datasheet), intended for use
on breadboards and when space is at a premium.
The new Mini (revision 05) has a new package for the ATmega, which
enable all components to be on the top of the board. It also has an
onboard reset button.

arduino.cc TYPES OF ARDUINO: LEONARDO
30
Arduino Leonardo
Processor: ATmega32u4 (8-bit CPU, 16MHz clock speed, 2KB SRAM,
32KB flash storage)
Features: 20 digital I/O pins (7 PWM), 12 of which can be used as analog
inputs, native USB support
Form Factor: 68.6mm x 53.3mm rectangle
The Leonardo is, essentially, a slight upgrade to the Uno. It looks a lot like
the Uno, but it features a soldered-on ATmega32u4 microcontroller with a
tiny bit more memory. The main advantage of the ATmega32u4 isn’t the
extra SRAM, though, it’s the chip’s built-in USB compatibility. This allows
the Leonardo to interface with a PC, which sees it as a generic mouse or
keyboard. It also features a few extra analog input pins.

Programming Logic and Design
arduino.cc TYPES OF ARDUINO: DUE
31
Arduino Due
Processor: Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 (32-bit CPU, 84MHz clock
speed, 96KB SRAM, 512KB flash storage)
Features: 54 digital I/O pins (12 PWM), 12 analog input pins, 2 analog
output pins, native USB port
Form Factor: 101.52mm x 53.3mm rectangle
One of the newest Arduino boards, the Due is the heavy-hitter of the
family, packing a 32-bit ARM processor that handily outclasses any of the
processors found in other Arduino boards. The Due is primarily for more
complicated projects that can make sure of its muscular processor, or that
need more I/O pins than are found on the smaller Arduino boards. That
said, the Due is substantially bigger and more expensive than the Uno or
Leonardo, so consider whether you really need the extra power before
making a purchase.
One drawback to the Due is that it operates at 3.3 volts, which is different
than the 5 volts that most other Arduino boards operate at. That limits the
add-on hardware that’s compatible with the Arduino Due – if an add-on
board tries to send a 5 volt signal to the Due’s I/O pins, it could damage
the microcontroller.

32
Arduino Lilypad
Processor: ATmega328 (8-bit CPU, 16MHz clock speed, 2KB SRAM,
32KB flash storage)
Features: 14 digital I/O pins, 6 analog input pins
Form Factor: 2” diameter circle
The Lilypad is an Arduino board specifically designed for wearable
devices. Its circular shape and standoff-less I/O pins are designed to make
it easy to sew the Lilypad into fabric-based projects.
The hardware on a standard LilyPad board is basically the same as on
and Arduino Uno. There are a number of other LilyPad options available
as well, including the LilyPad Arduino USB, which feature’s the Leonardo’s
ATmega32u4 chip, the Lilypad Arduino Simple, which has fewer I/O
connections than the basic model, and the LilyPad Arduino SimpleSnap,
which can be snapped into and out of projects, so they can be safely
washed.

1 – Power USB
Arduino board can be powered by using the USB cable from your
computer. All you need to do is connect the USB cable to the USB
connection (1).
2 – Power (Barrel Jack)
Arduino boards can be powered directly from the AC mains power supply
by connecting it to the Barrel Jack (2).
3 – Voltage Regulator
The function of the voltage regulator is to control the voltage given to the
Arduino board and stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and
other elements.
4 – Crystal Oscillator
The crystal oscillator helps Arduino in dealing with time issues. How does
Arduino calculate time? The answer is, by using the crystal oscillator. The
number printed on top of the Arduino crystal is 16.000H9H. It tells us that
the frequency is 16,000,000 Hertz or 16 MHz.
5,17 – Arduino Reset
You can reset your Arduino board, i.e., start your program from the
beginning. You can reset the UNO board in two ways. First, by using the
reset button (17) on the board. Second, you can connect an external reset
button to the Arduino pin labelled RESET (5).

6,7,8,9 – Pins (3.3, 5, GND, Vin)
• 3.3V (6) − Supply 3.3 output volt
• 5V (7) − Supply 5 output volt
• Most of the components used with Arduino board works fine with 3.3
volt and 5 volt.
• GND (8)(Ground) − There are several GND pins on the Arduino, any of
which can be used to ground your circuit.
• Vin (9) − This pin also can be used to power the Arduino board from an
external power source, like AC mains power supply.
10 – Analog pins
The Arduino UNO board has six analog input pins A0 through A5. These
pins can read the signal from an analog sensor like the humidity sensor or
temperature sensor and convert it into a digital value that can be read by
the microprocessor.
11 – Main Microcontroller
Each Arduino board has its own microcontroller (11). You can assume it as
the brain of your board. The main IC (integrated circuit) on the Arduino is
slightly different from board to board. The microcontrollers are usually of
the ATMEL Company. You must know what IC your board has before
loading up a new program from the Arduino IDE. This information is
available on the top of the IC. For more details about the IC construction
and functions, you can refer to the data sheet.

12 – ICSP pin
Mostly, ICSP (12) is an AVR, a tiny programming header for the Arduino
consisting of MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET, VCC, and GND. It is often
referred to as an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), which could be
considered as an "expansion" of the output. Actually, you are slaving the
output device to the master of the SPI bus.
13 – Power LED indicator
This LED should light up when you plug your Arduino into a power source
to indicate that your board is powered up correctly. If this light does not
turn on, then there is something wrong with the connection.
14 – TX and RX LEDs
On your board, you will find two labels: TX (transmit) and RX (receive).
They appear in two places on the Arduino UNO board. First, at the digital
pins 0 and 1, to indicate the pins responsible for serial communication.
Second, the TX and RX led (13). The TX led flashes with different speed
while sending the serial data. The speed of flashing depends on the baud
rate used by the board. RX flashes during the receiving process.

15 – Digital I/O
The Arduino UNO board has 14 digital I/O pins (15) (of which 6 provide
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output. These pins can be configured to
work as input digital pins to read logic values (0 or 1) or as digital output
pins to drive different modules like LEDs, relays, etc. The pins labeled “~”
can be used to generate PWM.
16 – AREF
AREF stands for Analog Reference. It is sometimes, used to set an
external reference voltage (between 0 and 5 Volts) as the upper limit for
the analog input pins.

arduino.cc STRUCTURE: SKETCH
38
The basic code structure of Arduino programming is simple and is
composed of two parts:
1. Setup
2. Loop
The code you write for your Arduino are known as sketches. They are
written in C++.
Every sketch needs two void type functions, setup() and loop(). A void type
function doesn’t return any value.
The setup() method is ran once, just after the Arduino is powered up, and
the loop() method is ran continuously afterwards.
The setup() is where you want to do any initialization steps, and in loop()
you want to run the code you want to run over and over again.

if Statement
‘if’ statements test whether a certain condition has been reached, such as
whether a number has reaches a certain value, and if true, executes the
statements in the brackets. The code in the brackets is skipped if the
statement is false.
The syntax for if statement is:
void loop(){
if(somevariable <testcondition> value){
doSomething;
}
}
The above condition test compares somevariable with a value. If this
condition is satisfied, then the code inside the parenthesis (dosomething)
is executed.
STRUCTURE: CONTROL STRUCTURE
39
If…else
The ‘if…else’ statements allow either/or statements to be made. These
statements can be used when more than one courses of action are
possible, as determined by the variable or value being tested. The syntax
for ‘if…else’ implementation is:
void loop(){
if(inputPin == HIGH){
doThing1;
}else{
doThing2;
}
}

If…else if ladder
If more than two courses of action are possible, then the ‘if…else if’ ladder
is to be used, which allows the choice and execution of one statement
from an infinite number of possibilities. The syntax is as follows:
void loop(){
if(inputPin <testcondition> value1){
doThing1;
}else if(inputPin <testcondition> value2){
doThing2;
}else if(inputPin <testcondition> value3){
doThing3;
}else{
doThing4;
}
}
for Statement
The ‘for’ statement is used to repeat a statement of a block of statements
a specified number of times. The arguments for the ‘for’ loop consists of:
1. Initialization. This initializes a variable with a specified initial value.
2. Test condition. This condition is tested for every loop and the ‘for’
statement stops looping when this condition does not hold true.
3. Increment/decrement expression. This expression operates on the
initialized variable.
The syntax for the ‘for’ loop is as follows:
void loop(){
for(initialization; condition; increment/decrement
expression){
doSomething;
}
}

while Loop
The ‘while’ loop will loop continuously and infinitely, until the expression
inside the brackets become false. If the tested variable of value is not
changed, the loop will go on for infinity.
void loop(){
while(variable <test condition> value){
doSomething;
}
}
do…while Loop
The ‘do…while’ class works in a similar manner to the ‘while’ class, the
only difference being, that, in the ‘do…while’ class the condition is tested
at the bottom of the loop, making sure the loops is carried out at least
once.
void loop(){
do{
doSomething;
}while(variable <test condition> value)

pinMode
This command is used to set pins as input or output in the Setup().
Arduino digital pins are set to input by default, hence there is no need to
specifically declare them as inputs using pinMode(). Pins configured as
inputs are said to be in a high impedance state.
The syntax for declaring pins using pinMode() is as follows:
void setup(){
pinMode(11, INPUT); //Sets pin 11 as input
pinMode(12, OUTPUT); //Sets pin 12 as output
}
void loop(){
}
For convenience there are 20k ohm pull up resistors built into the ATmega
chip which can be accessed through software in the following manner:
void setup(){
pinMode(11, INPUT); //Sets pin 11 as input
digitalWrite(11, HIGH); //Turns on 20k-ohms
//pullup resistor
}
void loop(){
}
Pins set as OUTPUT are said to be in a low resistance state and can
supply 40mA of current to connected circuits or components.

}
digitalWrite
Sets the pins on or off, by giving them either HIGH or LOW output. The
function takes two parameters, the pin number and either HIGH or LOW,
as follows:

}
void loop(){
int value = analogRead(0); //Reads the analogue value
//between 0-1023) of the

This function is used to give an analog output. Analog outputs can only be
given to pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11 on the Uno. Values between 0-255 can
be given to the analog pins.
The syntax is as follows:
void setup(){
pinMode(3, OUTPUT); //Sets pin 3 as output
}
void loop(){
analogWrite(3, value); //Sets the value of analog pin
//3 equal to value (must be
//from 0-255)
