Microprocessor- an integrated circuit that contains all the functions of a

central processing unit of a computer.
2. Microcontroller is a computer present in a single integrated circuit which is
dedicated to perform one task and execute one specific
application. It contains memory, programmable
input/output peripherals as well a processor.
3. IDE-
A computer program that lets a user write a computer
program.
4. Computer is a collection of instructions that performs a specific task
program- when executed by a computer.
6. Machine a computer programming language consisting of binary or
language- hexadecimal instructions that a computer can respond to
directly.
7. High level is a programming language such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal
language- that enables a programmer to write programs that are
more or less independent of a particular type of computer.
8. Open source denoting software for which the original source code is
made freely available and may be redistributed and
modified.
9. Proprietary relating to an owner or ownership.
10. Syntax- a set of rules for or an analysis of this.
11. Interface a device or program enabling a user to communicate with a
computer.
12. Keywords a word that acts as the key to a cipher or code.
13. Abstraction freedom from representational qualities in art.
14. Variable an element, feature, or factor that is liable to vary or
change.
15. Program loop- is a sequence of instruction s that is continually repeated
until a certain condition is reached.
16. Infinite loop- is a piece of coding that lacks a functional exit so that it
repeats indefinitely.
17. Counting loop is one that is controlled by an integer that counts up from
a initial value to an upper limit.
18. Conditional loop- is a control flow statement that allows code to be executed
repeatedly based on a given Boolean condition.
19. Comment a piece of specially tagged text placed within a program to
 help other users to understand it, which the computer
ignores when running the program.
20. Statement A function is a set of instructions that go together to do
something.
21. Function is a group of statements that are run as a single unit when
the function is called from another location, such as task
main().
22. Analog- circuitry to go toward a simple goal such as finding more
light or responding to sound.
23. Digital- involving or relating to the use of computer technology.
24. Binary- something having two parts.

11. What two things does an IDE do?

A computer program used to write a computer program
Allows users to write code in a language that is easier to use than the
machine level code
12. What two things happen when you define a variable?
Gives the variable the name
Assigns the variable a memory location for it
13. Describe the following computer program in as much detail as
possible:
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once;
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly;
}
Void- no value is returned
setup ()-program section names
()- no value is given
{-functions
{}-functions
;- statement
//- commands
