Code Syntax Cheat Sheet (C++ / Arduino Language)

Statements

if(condition_is_true){do_this;}
else if(this_condition_true){do_that;}
else(do_this;)

for(variable; condition; variable_update){
do_this_while_condition_true;}

while(condition_is_true){
do_this;}

Syntax

void setup(){ code here runs once}
void loop() {code here repeats forever}
; semicolons end the line
//single line comment
/* multi-line comment */
#include <library_name.h>

Variables

byte: 0-255
int: -32,767 to 32,767
bool: 0 or 1
char: -128 to 127
array: variable_type array_name [size_of_array];
const: makes a variable constant

Operators

= assignment of variables or values
+, -, *, / math operators
% modulo 
== equal to
< , > less than, greater than
<= less than or equal to
>= greater than or equal to
&& boolean "and"
|| boolean "or"
! boolean "not"
++ incrementer
-- decrementer
