Appendix B. Coding primer

This coding primer is a basic guide to the Arduino language and how it’s used to create sketches that can be run on an Arduino. We’ll cover the following topics:

  • History of the Arduino language
  • Using variables
  • Using control statements
  • Using loops
  • Using functions

B.1. The Arduino language

The Arduino language is based on C/C++, and anyone who has previously studied C or C++ will readily be able to read the written code. If you haven’t studied C or C++ before, don’t worry. The Arduino language was designed to make coding as painless as possible, allowing you to concentrate on what can be done rather than how it’s done.
