What is Arduino?
A microcontroller board, contains on-board power supply, USB port to communicate
with PC, and an Atmel microcontroller chip.
It simplify the process of creating any control system by providing the standard board
that can be programmed and connected to the system without the need to any
sophisticated PCB design and implementation.
It is an open source hardware, any one can get the details of its design and modify it
or make his own one himself.

• IntegerInteger: used with integer variables with value between
2147483647 and -2147483647.
Ex: int x=1200;
• CharacterCharacter: used with single character, represent value from -127 to
128.
Ex. char c=‘r’;
• LongLong: Long variables are extended size variables for number
storage, and store 32 bits (4 bytes), from -2,147,483,648 to
2,147,483,647.
Ex. long u=199203;
• Floating-point:Floating-point: Numbers can be as large as 3.4028235E+38 and
as low as -3.4028235E+38. They are stored as 32 bits (4 bytes) of
information.
Ex. float num=1.291; [The same as doubledouble type]
Data Types and OperatorsData Types and Operators

Statement represents a command, it ends with ;;
Ex:
int x;
x=13;
Operators are symbols that used to indicate a specific function:
- Math operators: [+,-,* ,/,%,^+,-,* ,/,%,^]
- Logic operators: [==, !=, &&, ||==, !=, &&, ||]
- Comparison operators: [==, >, <, !=, <=, >===, >, <, !=, <=, >=]
Syntax:
;; Semicolon, {}{} curly braces, ////single line comment, /*/* Multi-line
co m m e nts * /* /
