Environment (IDE):
Editor + Compiler +
Uploader
Runs on Windows,
macOS, Linux

SYNTAX
57
Sketch Structure & Code Format
Every sketch has two
mandatory functions:
1. void setup() { … } -
runs once at start
2. void loop() { … } -
repeats forever
58

Sketch Structure & Code Format
Syntax Rules:
Semicolon (;) ends
each statement
Braces ({ }) define
code blocks (groups
the code)
59
Sketch Structure & Code Format
Syntax Rules:
Case Sensitive:
PinMode ≠ pinMode
DigitalWrite ≠ digitalWrite
Comments:
Single line: // this is a comment
Block: /* multiple lines */

Declaring Pins & Variables
Digital I/O Pins: numbered 0–13 (Uno)
Analog Input Pins: labeled A0–A5
Use descriptive names
Place declarations at top of sketch

What is a Library?
A collection of
pre-written code to
simplify tasks
Examples: Servo,
LiquidCrystal, Wireless

Summary
Core Takeaways:
Syntax and format rules keep
code error-free
Functions perform discrete
tasks; libraries extend
capabilities
The Arduino IDE guides you
from code to hardware

True or False
1) digitalWrite() is used to read data from a sensor.
2) The Arduino IDE automatically formats your code
with indentation.
3) Libraries allow you to use extra features without
writing all the code yourself.
4) void setup() runs continuously as long as the Arduino
is powered on.
5)Using Serial.begin(9600) starts serial communication
between your Arduino and computer.
