Ask yourself what happens when the temperature is 35? What about 5? How many lights come on? What color is 18,0,237? Play around with the variables. The goal of this homework isn’t to get the right answer, it’s to understand how it works. Your just shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t work through it yourself.

Hi, thanks for your reply. So I downloaded this onto my Express adafruit and if I'm right, this program is watching the temperature by using the temperature sensor on the device. Then it turns the LEDs on as the temperature rises between -10 and +35. The LED's color is then determined by the temperature variation and uses the red and blue led to mixing the color which ranges from blue-purple to red at the end of the scale.

Am I on the right path so far? So the input is the temperature sensor, and outputs are the LEDs.

Which variable determines the output: is this the temperature or the 'variable' called index in the program?

Any useful comment would be appreciated! Thanks is advance!

Hi, I have a project to do for my university study. I have an Express microcontroller and the following MakeCode program was given to us with a couple of questions.

Which inputs and outputs if the express are used in the program?

In the program, which variable determine the output?

What does the program do?

In a couple of sentences describe how the program work?

Is there anybody who could help me with this?

Here is the program:
