Description
A boolean
holds one of two values, true
or false
. (Each boolean
variable occupies one byte of memory.)
A boolean
holds one of two values, true
or false
. (Each boolean
variable occupies one byte of memory.)
This code shows how to use the boolean
datatype.
int LEDpin = 5; // LED on pin 5
int switchPin = 13; // momentary switch on 13, other side connected to ground
boolean running = false;
void setup()
{
pinMode(LEDpin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
digitalWrite(switchPin, HIGH); // turn on pullup resistor
}
void loop()
{
if (digitalRead(switchPin) == LOW)
{ // switch is pressed - pullup keeps pin high normally
delay(100); // delay to debounce switch
running = !running; // toggle running variable
digitalWrite(LEDpin, running); // indicate via LED
}
}
