Language Reference
Arduino programming language can be divided in three main parts: structure, values
(variables and constants), and functions.

FUNCTIONS
For controlling the Arduino board and performing computations.

Digital I/O Math Random Numbers

digitalRead() abs() random()
digitalWrite() constrain() randomSeed()
pinMode() map()
max() Bits and Bytes
Analog I/O min() bit()
analogRead() pow() bitClear()
analogReference() sq() bitRead()
analogWrite() sqrt() bitSet()
bitWrite()
Zero, Due & MKR Family Trigonometry highByte()
analogReadResolution() cos() lowByte()
analogWriteResolution() sin()
tan() External Interrupts
Advanced I/O attachInterrupt()
noTone() Characters detachInterrupt()
pulseIn() isAlpha()
pulseInLong() isAlphaNumeric() Interrupts
shiftIn() isAscii() interrupts()
shiftOut() isControl() noInterrupts()
tone() isDigit()
isGraph() Communication
Time isHexadecimalDigit() serial
delay() isLowerCase() stream
delayMicroseconds() isPrintable()
micros() isPunct() USB
millis() isSpace() Keyboard
isUpperCase() Mouse
isWhitespace()
