What is Arduino Programming?

Arduino programming is written in C and C++ language with some additions of methods and functions.C/C++ language is a human-readable programming language. When you create a ‘sketch’ (the name given to Arduino code files) in Arduino Uno, it is processed and compiled to machine language( which is understandable by machines).Arduino programming is a very simple language to perform different task, doing cool stuff etc.

This programming is written in Arduino IDE software which allows you to code different boards.Arduino IDE is based on a very simple programming language called processing.

Arduino programs have a minimum of 2 blocks:

  1. Preparation
  2. Execution

Each block has a set of statements enclosed in curly braces:

void setup( )

{

statements-1;

.

statement-n;

}

void loop ( )

{

statement-1;

.

statement-n;

}

Here, setup ( ) is the preparation block and loop ( ) is an execution block.
