11. OPERATORS
The equals sign
= is used to assign a value
== is used to compare values

12. OPERATORS
•AND
•&&
•OR
•||

13. VARIABLES
Basic variable types:
Boolean
Integer
Character

14. DECLARING VARIABLES
Boolean: boolean variableName;

15. DECLARING VARIABLES
Boolean: boolean variableName;
Integer: int variableName;

16. DECLARING VARIABLES
Boolean: boolean variableName;
Integer: int variableName;
Character: char variableName;

17. DECLARING VARIABLES
Boolean: boolean variableName;
Integer: int variableName;
Character: char variableName;
String: stringName [ ];

18. ASSIGNING VARIABLES
Boolean: variableName = true;
or variableName = false;

19. ASSIGNING VARIABLES
Boolean: variableName = true;
or variableName = false;
e.g. ledStatus = true;

20. ASSIGNING VARIABLES
Integer: variableName = 32767;
or variableName = -32768;

21. ASSIGNING VARIABLES
Integer: variableName = 32767;
or variableName = -32768;
e.g. redLED = 13

22. ASSIGNING VARIABLES
•Character: variableName = ‘A’;
•or stringName = “Robotics”;

23. ASSIGNING VARIABLES
•Boolean: variableName = true;
•or variableName = false;
•Integer: variableName = 32767;
•or variableName = -32768;
•Character: variableName = ‘A’;
•or stringName = “Robotics”;

30. ACTIVITY
• Open your Tinkercad and look for the One Way Traffic Light
Circuit.
• For global declaration of variable, write on the uppermost
part of the code the following:
1.Declare a variable redLed with int data type and
assign a value 13
2.Add additional declaration variables for yellowLed
and greenLed to 12 and 11 respectively.
3.Change the value of the parameter of pinMode
based on the right variable name used.

31. ACTIVITY
• Open your Tinkercad and look for the One Way Traffic
Light Circuit.
• For global declaration of variable, write on the
uppermost part of the code the following:
4. Declare a variable wait for the delay time
and assign 1000.
5. Change the value of the parameter of delay
based on the right variable name used.
