Get Started on Arduino Code and Syntax

Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board and a development environment for writing software for the board. Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.

Features:

Schematic design of the open-source development interfaces free download.
Download the program is simple and convenient.
Simply with the sensor, a wide range of electronic components connection (such as: LED light, buzzer, keypad, photoresistor, etc.), make all sorts of interesting things.
Using the high-speed micro-processing controller (ATMEGA328).
The development of language and development environment is very simple, easy to understand, very suitable for beginners to learn.

Let’s start.

When you open the Arduino program, you are opening the IDE. It is intentionally streamlined to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible. When you save a file in Arduino, the file is called a sketch – a sketch is where you save the computer code you have written. The coding language that Arduino uses is similar to C++, which is a common language in the world of computing.

The process of compiling is seamless to the user. All you have to do is press a button. If you have errors in your computer code, the compiler will display an error message at the bottom of the IDE and highlight the line of code that seems to be the issue. The error message is meant to help you identify what you might have done wrong.

Sometimes, it might drive you crazy at first because it is very natural to forget the syntax. As you gain experience programming you will learn to be assiduous about coding grammar. Let’s introduce some syntax.
