* learn how to create a global variable as a place where you can store data so that you can use it later in your code, accessible across functions and in nested code blocks
* learn how arithmetic operators operate on numbers and return a number
* learn how to return a random number
* learn how to repeat code in the background forever
* learn how to gradually decrease the LED screen brightness until the LED lights are turned off
* learn how to gradually increase the LED screen brightness until the LED lights are turned on
