Figure 1. simple "test" string text sent to the serial monitor by using the setup.
Figure 2. Printing the same "test" string but using the loop function and ending it to prevent an infinite loop.
Figure 3. Printing "test" again, this time by assigning a variable to the string "test"

Figure 5. Another example to prove simple operations are possible.

Figure 7. changing boolean a to int a does not change the answer.
Figure 8. Testing the IF statement to prove that x==1.
Figure 9. Testing the FOR loop to print numbers from 1 to 9. To get numbers to 10 we could do i<11.

Task 2
Figure 14. Example using a do while loop that runs while x is less than 20. we add 4 to x after every iteration.
Task 3
In this task we printed the HEX number
0x1000 to decimal in the serial monitor. 1000 in HEX is 4096 in DEC.

Task 4
In this Task three different numbers were converted to HEX with the ARDUINO.

Task 5
In this task three numbers were converted from hexadecimal into binary by using the BIN command.

Task 6
For this task bit masks were used to display a 5-bit binary number on five different LEDs on a breadboard. bits were stored in an array.
Figure 18. This displays a 5-bit binary number to 5 different LEDs. The for loops run until i <5 and mask>0. ( easier than making two for loops)

Discussion
This homework helped a lot to re-learn some things i had forgotten about arduino. Task 6 was a little bit challenging because I wanted to do everything inside one loop instead of two. Overall, this was an informative homework for the basics of arduino and logical operations using arduino.
