QUESTION 10:

What does the following code do?

int ledPin = 13;

void setup() {

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {

void loop() {

// Do nothing

a) Blink 3 times with 1000ms ON and 500ms OFF

b) Blink 3 times with 500ms ON and 500ms OFF

c) Blink 3 times with 1000ms ON and 1000ms OFF

d) Stay ON continuously

Correct Answer: a) Blink 3 times with 1000ms ON and 500ms OFF

Detailed Solution:

The LED is turned ON for 1000ms using delay(1000).

The LED is turned OFF for 500ms using delay(500).

This process repeats 3 times in the for loop.

Thus, the LED blinks 3 times with 1000ms ON and 500ms OFF.

QUESTION 11:

How many types of loops will you find in Arduino Programming?

a. 1

b. 2

c. 3

d. 4

Correct Answer: c. 3

Detailed Solution: Like C programming Arduino sketches also have 3 types of loops,
for, while and do-while loops.

QUESTION 12:

Choose the right option for if/conditional operator.

a. Val = (condition)?(Statement 1):(Statement 2)

b. Val = (condition)?(Statement 2):(Statement 1)

c. Val = (condition):(Statement 1)?(Statement 2)

d. Val = (condition):(Statement 2)?(Statement 1)

Correct Answer: a. Val = (condition)?(Statement 1):(Statement 2)

Detailed Solution: Conditional operator may also be written as Val =

QUESTION 13:

What is the purpose of calling dht.begin(); in the setup() function?
