Lesson 56 : What is a function? | Arduino Step By Step Course

Part 6: Arduino Practiall Programming

In this lesson we learn how what a function is and how to define it. We learn about return type, about arguments and parameters.

• 00:00 what is a function?
• 02:01 Example 1 : Void
• 03:48 Example 2: Integer
• 07:13 Example 3: float
• 08:05 Example 4: Void (no return, no argument)
• 08:50 Example 5: String
• 09:34 Example 6: a little complex
• 10:20 Code examples demo
• 17:32 Decimal point issue
