Arduino for Beginners - 2022 Complete Course - Compute the Duration of an Action

The video tutorial explains how to use the Millis and Micros functions to measure the duration of actions in a program. It highlights the importance of timing for debugging and solving delay issues. The tutorial provides examples of measuring delay using Millis and discusses using Micros for more precision. It also covers how to implement timing in a loop using global variables.

What is the primary purpose of using Millis and Micros functions in programming?

• To calculate the speed of a program

• To determine the memory usage of a program

• To find the number of lines in a program

• To measure the time elapsed since the start of a program

Why is it important to compute the duration of an action in a program?

• To enhance the visual appearance of the program

• To increase the file size of the program

• To debug the program and solve delay issues

• To reduce the number of functions in the program

What is the first step in measuring the duration of an action in a program?

• Execute the action

• Get the time after the action

• Get the time before the action

• Print the duration

How do you calculate the duration of an action?

• Add the time before and after the action

• Divide the time before the action by the time after the action

• Multiply the time before and after the action

• Subtract the time before the action from the time after the action

What type of variable is used to store the time values in the duration measurement code?

• String

• Float

• Unsigned Long

• Integer

What is the benefit of using global variables to measure duration in a loop?

• It reduces the complexity of the code

• It allows for measuring duration across multiple iterations

• It increases the speed of the program

• It simplifies the initialization process

How can you achieve more precision in measuring time duration?

• By using Millis

• By using Micros

• By using Strings

• By using Integers
