Increment in For Loop

• Executed each time through the loop when the condition is true, modifying the loop control variable.

• Executed only once before the loop starts.

• Executed only if the loop condition is false.

• Executed at the end of the loop iteration.

void loop()

• Contains code that repeats until the sketch ends with a command or the Reset button.

• Is used to define a function that runs only once.

• Is a function that initializes variables before the main program runs.

• Is a command that stops the execution of the program.

prizm.setServoPosition( );

• Sets angle of servo motor

• Controls the speed of the motor

• Turns the motor on and off

• Adjusts the brightness of an LED

Initialization in For Loop

• Occurs first and only once.

• Occurs every iteration of the loop.

• Occurs at the end of the loop.

• Is optional and can be skipped.

delay();

• Represents the number of milliseconds to pause the program.

• Sets a timer for a specific event.

• Increases the speed of program execution.

• Halts the program indefinitely.

Single Line Comment

• Indicated by // in the code.

• Indicated by /* */ in the code.

• Indicated by # in the code.

• Indicated by -- in the code.

Verify/Compile

• Checks code for errors.

• Runs the code without checking for errors.

• Optimizes the code for performance.

• Converts code into a different programming language.

Servo

• Turns 90 degrees

• Turns 180 degrees

• Turns 360 degrees

• Does not turn

For Loop

• A control flow statement that allows the repeated execution of a block of code for a specific number of times.

• A type of loop that continues indefinitely until a specific condition is met.

• A statement that executes a block of code only once.

• A method for defining functions in programming.
