What is the purpose of loops in programming with micro:bits?

• Loops are used to define variables in programming.

• Loops help in debugging code errors.

• The purpose of loops is to execute a block of code repeatedly.

• Loops are meant for storing data temporarily.

Explain how conditional statements work in micro:bit programming.

• Conditional statements do not affect program execution.

• Conditional statements are only used for loops.

• Conditional statements are only applicable in Python programming.

• Conditional statements control the flow of the program based on conditions.

What is the function of the button A on a micro:bit?

• Button A is solely for resetting the micro:bit.

• Button A controls the brightness of the LED display.

• Button A is used to power the micro:bit on and off.

• Button A is used for user input and can trigger actions when pressed.

What is the role of the accelerometer in a micro:bit?

• The accelerometer detects motion and orientation changes.

• The accelerometer controls the brightness of the display.
