Functions Part 2

Experiment #6 from Vernier Coding Activities with Arduino®: Analog Sensors

Education Level
High School
College

Introduction

In the last activity you created functions as a way to make the program easier to understand. Although the importance of using local variables whenever possible was emphasized, you also learned how to use several global variables as a first step in working with functions. 

In this activity you will learn how to pass information from one function to another so you can eliminate the majority of global variables.

Objectives

  • Learn formatting for passing information between functions
