What is void loop?
A type of signal that can take on any number of values, useful for dimming a light?
What is analog signal?
A construction base that allows you to easily develop and replace an electronic circuit and wirings.
What is a breadboard?
A device that emits light when an electric current passes through it.
What is LED?
The number of analog pins present on the Arduino board?
What is 6?
The use of a capital letter to begin the second word in a compound phrase when it is not separated from the first word by a space.
e.g. digitalWrite
