Answer the questions while completing the tutorial. Pay attention to the dialogues!
## 1. Why are you creating a 'forever' loop?
<br/>
We are creating a forever loop to constantly display the appropriate brightness on the LED display.
## 2. Write the line of code to measure the acceleration with respect to the "y" axis and store this value in a local variable called 'acceleration'.
<br/>

```blocks
2016-03-26 00:47:20 +01:00
let acceleration = input.acceleration("y")
```
## 3. After storing the acceleration in a variable, write the code to take the absolute value of the acceleration, and store this value inside 'acceleration'.
<br/>
2016-03-30 01:24:11 +02:00
```blocks
2016-03-31 01:25:19 +02:00
let acceleration = input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
let accelerationAbsolute = Math.abs(acceleration)
2016-03-26 00:47:20 +01:00
```
2016-03-31 01:25:19 +02:00
## 4. Write the code to use the acceleration value from question 3 to set the brightness on the BBC micro:bit.

<br/>
2016-03-30 01:24:11 +02:00
```blocks
2016-03-31 01:25:19 +02:00
let accelerationX = input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
let accelerationAbsolute = Math.abs(accelerationX)
let accelerationDivided = accelerationX / 4
led.setBrightness(accelerationX)
2016-03-26 00:47:20 +01:00
```
## 5. Write the code that tuns all the LEDs on (as the image displays below)

<br/>
```
led.plotAll()
```
