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
