4.1 Blink Example
Arduino Uses C++ Language to Program the Board which is then compiled to machine code then uploaded to the board to run.
The code consist of two default functions
Setup function runs once on start to setup I/O pins and to define/setup the default state of the device.
Loop function runs forever in the loop
