## Testing
The build automatically runs the following:
* make sure the built-in packages compile
* `pxt run` in `libs/lang-test*` - this will run the test in command line runner;
there is a number of asserts in both of these
* `pxt testdir` in `tests` - this makes sure all the files compile and generates .hex files
* run the TD->TS converter on a number of test scripts from `microbit.co.uk` and make sure the results compile
To test something on the device:
* do a `pxt deploy` in `libs/lang-test*` - they should show `1` or `2` on the screen (and not unhappy face)
* run `pxt testdir` in `tests` and deploy some of the hex files from `tests/built`

The second job of the scheduler is to periodically interrupt execution to read (poll) the various inputs to the micro:bit (the buttons, pins, etc.) and fire off events (such as “button A pressed”). Recall that the firing of an event causes the event handler subprogram associated with that event to be queued for later execution. The scheduler uses a timer built into the micro:bit hardware to interrupt execution every 6 milliseconds and poll the inputs, which is more than fast enough to catch the quickest press of a button.

We will call this “passing control of execution” rather than “passing the ball”. However, in the world of the micro:bit, the concurrently executing subprograms are not aware of each other, so they dont actually pass control directly to one another. Rather they pass control of execution back to the scheduler and the scheduler determines the subprogram to pass control to next. The programmer inserts a call to the `pause` function to indicate a point in the subprogram where control of execution passes to the scheduler. Also, when a subprogram ends execution, control passes to the scheduler.
Lets take a look at the implementation of the `forever` statement to see an example of cooperative scheduling:

The `forever` loop actually is a function that takes a subprogram (an *Action* in Touch Develop) as a parameter. The function uses the `control -> in background` function of the micro:bit runtime to queue a `while true` loop for execution by the scheduler. The while loop has two statements. The first statement runs the subprogram represented by the `body` parameter. The second statement passes control to the scheduler (requesting to “sleep” for 20 milliseconds).

# Classes
Traditional JavaScript focuses on functions and prototype-based inheritance as the basic means of building up reusable components,
but this may feel a bit awkward to programmers more comfortable with an object-oriented approach, where classes inherit functionality
and objects are built from these classes.
Starting with ECMAScript 2015, also known as ECMAScript 6, JavaScript programmers will be able to build their applications using
this object-oriented class-based approach. TypeScript, allows you to use these techniques now, compiling them
down to JavaScript that works across all major browsers and platforms, without having to wait for the next version of JavaScript.
Let's take a look at a simple class-based example:
```ts
class Greeter {
greeting: string;
constructor(message: string) {
this.greeting = message;
}
greet() {
return "Hello, " + this.greeting;
}
}
let greeter = new Greeter("world");
```
We declare a new class `Greeter`. This class has three members: a property called `greeting`, a constructor, and a method `greet`.
You'll notice that in the class when we refer to one of the members of the class we prepend `this.`.
This denotes that it's a member access.
In the last line we construct an instance of the `Greeter` class using `new`.
This calls into the constructor we defined earlier, creating a new object with the `Greeter` shape, and running the constructor to initialize it.
# Inheritance
### ~hint
### Inheritance is not supported yet for the micro:bit. Coming soon...
### ~
In TypeScript, we can use common object-oriented patterns.
Of course, one of the most fundamental patterns in class-based programming is being able to extend existing classes to create new ones using inheritance.
Let's take a look at an example:
```ts-ignore
class Animal {
name: string;
constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
move(distanceInMeters: number = 0) {
console.log(`${this.name} moved ${distanceInMeters}m.`);
}
}
class Snake extends Animal {
constructor(name: string) { super(name); }
move(distanceInMeters = 5) {
console.log("Slithering...");
super.move(distanceInMeters);
}
}
class Horse extends Animal {
constructor(name: string) { super(name); }
move(distanceInMeters = 45) {
console.log("Galloping...");
super.move(distanceInMeters);
}
}
let sam = new Snake("Sammy the Python");
let tom: Animal = new Horse("Tommy the Palomino");
sam.move();
tom.move(34);
```
This example covers quite a few of the inheritance features in TypeScript that are common to other languages.
Here we see the `extends` keywords used to create a subclass.
You can see this where `Horse` and `Snake` subclass the base class `Animal` and gain access to its features.
Derived classes that contain constructor functions must call `super()` which will execute the constructor function on the base class.
The example also shows how to override methods in the base class with methods that are specialized for the subclass.
Here both `Snake` and `Horse` create a `move` method that overrides the `move` from `Animal`, giving it functionality specific to each class.
Note that even though `tom` is declared as an `Animal`, since its value is a `Horse`, when `tom.move(34)` calls the overriding method in `Horse`:
```Text
Slithering...
Sammy the Python moved 5m.
Galloping...
Tommy the Palomino moved 34m.
```
# Public, private, and protected modifiers
## Public by default
In our examples, we've been able to freely access the members that we declared throughout our programs.
If you're familiar with classes in other languages, you may have noticed in the above examples
we haven't had to use the word `public` to accomplish this; for instance,
C# requires that each member be explicitly labeled `public` to be visible.
In TypeScript, each member is `public` by default.
You may still mark a member `public` explicitly.
We could have written the `Animal` class from the previous section in the following way:
```ts-ignore
class Animal {
public name: string;
public constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
public move(distanceInMeters: number) {
console.log(`${this.name} moved ${distanceInMeters}m.`);
}
}
```
## Understanding `private`
When a member is marked `private`, it cannot be accessed from outside of its containing class. For example:
```ts-ignore
class Animal {
private name: string;
constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
}
new Animal("Cat").name; // Error: 'name' is private;
```
TypeScript is a structural type system.
When we compare two different types, regardless of where they came from, if the types of all members are compatible, then we say the types themselves are compatible.
However, when comparing types that have `private` and `protected` members, we treat these types differently.
For two types to be considered compatible, if one of them has a `private` member,
then the other must have a `private` member that originated in the same declaration.
The same applies to `protected` members.
Let's look at an example to better see how this plays out in practice:
```ts-ignore
class Animal {
private name: string;
constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
}
class Rhino extends Animal {
constructor() { super("Rhino"); }
}
class Employee {
private name: string;
constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
}
let animal = new Animal("Goat");
let rhino = new Rhino();
let employee = new Employee("Bob");
animal = rhino;
animal = employee; // Error: 'Animal' and 'Employee' are not compatible
```
In this example, we have an `Animal` and a `Rhino`, with `Rhino` being a subclass of `Animal`.
We also have a new class `Employee` that looks identical to `Animal` in terms of shape.
We create some instances of these classes and then try to assign them to each other to see what will happen.
Because `Animal` and `Rhino` share the `private` side of their shape from the same declaration of
`private name: string` in `Animal`, they are compatible. However, this is not the case for `Employee`.
When we try to assign from an `Employee` to `Animal` we get an error that these types are not compatible.
Even though `Employee` also has a `private` member called `name`, it's not the one we declared in `Animal`.
## Understanding `protected`
The `protected` modifier acts much like the `private` modifier with the exception that members
declared `protected` can also be accessed by instances of deriving classes. For example,
```ts-ignore
class Person {
protected name: string;
constructor(name: string) { this.name = name; }
}
class Employee extends Person {
private department: string;
constructor(name: string, department: string) {
super(name);
this.department = department;
}
public getElevatorPitch() {
return `Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I work in ${this.department}.`;
}
}
let howard = new Employee("Howard", "Sales");
console.log(howard.getElevatorPitch());
console.log(howard.name); // error
```
Notice that while we can't use `name` from outside of `Person`,
we can still use it from within an instance method of `Employee` because `Employee` derives from `Person`.
A constructor may also be marked `protected`.
This means that the class cannot be instantiated outside of its containing class, but can be extended. For example,
```ts-ignore
class Person {
protected name: string;
protected constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
}
// Employee can extend Person
class Employee extends Person {
private department: string;
constructor(name: string, department: string) {
super(name);
this.department = department;
}
public getElevatorPitch() {
return `Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I work in ${this.department}.`;
}
}
let howard = new Employee("Howard", "Sales");
let john = new Person("John"); // Error: The 'Person' constructor is protected
```
# Readonly modifier
You can make properties readonly by using the `readonly` keyword.
Readonly properties must be initialized at their declaration or in the constructor.
```ts-ignore
class Octopus {
readonly name: string;
readonly numberOfLegs: number = 8;
constructor (theName: string) {
this.name = theName;
}
}
let dad = new Octopus("Man with the 8 strong legs");
dad.name = "Man with the 3-piece suit"; // error! name is readonly.
```
## Parameter properties
In our last example, we had to declare a readonly member `name` and a constructor parameter `theName` in the `Octopus` class, and we then immediately set `name` to `theName`.
This turns out to be a very common practice.
*Parameter properties* let you create and initialize a member in one place.
Here's a further revision of the previous `Octopus` class using a parameter property:
```ts-ignore
class Octopus {
readonly numberOfLegs: number = 8;
constructor(readonly name: string) {
}
}
```
Notice how we dropped `theName` altogether and just use the shortened `readonly name: string` parameter on the constructor to create and initialize the `name` member.
We've consolidated the declarations and assignment into one location.
Parameter properties are declared by prefixing a constructor parameter with an accessibility modifier or `readonly`, or both.
Using `private` for a parameter property declares and initializes a private member; likewise, the same is done for `public`, `protected`, and `readonly`.

# Frequently asked questions
# What is the language supported for the micro:bit?
For the micro:bit, we support a "static" subset of TypeScript (itself a superset of JavaScript):
## Supported language features
* variables with `let`, `const`, and `var`
* functions with lexical scoping and recursion
* top-level code in the file; hello world really is `console.log("Hello world")`
* `if ... else if ... else` statements
* `while` and `do ... while` loops
* `for(;;)` loops (see below about `for ... in/of`)
* `break/continue`; also with labeled loops
* `switch` statement (on numbers only)
* `debugger` statement for breakpoints
* conditional operator `? :`; lazy boolean operators
* namespaces (a form of modules)
* all arithmetic operators (including bitwise operators); note that in microcontroller targets
all arithmetic is performed on integers, also when simulating in the browser
* strings (with a few common methods)
* [string templates](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals) (`` `x is ${x}` ``)
* arrow functions `() => ...`
* classes with fields, methods and constructors; `new` keyword
* array literals `[1, 2, 3]`
* enums
## Unsupported language features
We generally stay away from the more dynamic parts of JavaScript.
Things you may miss and we may implement:
* exceptions (`throw`, `try ... catch`, `try ... finally`)
* `for ... of` statements
* object literals `{ foo: 1, bar: "two" }`
* method-like properties (get/set accessors)
* class inheritance
For JS-only targets we may implement the following:
* regular expressions
* classes implementing interfaces
Things that we are not very likely to implement:
* file-based modules (`import * from ...`, `module.exports` etc); we do support namespaces
* spread operator
* `yield` expression and ``function*``

# Functions
Functions are the fundamental building block of programs. Here is the simplest
way to make a function that adds two numbers:
```ts
// Named function
function add(x : number, y : number) {
return x + y;
}
basic.showNumber(add(1, 2))
```
### ~ hint
For the micro:bit, you must specify a [type](/js/types) for each function parameter.
### ~
Functions can refer to variables outside of the function body.
When they do so, they're said to `capture` these variables.
```ts
let z = 100;
function addToZ(x: number, y: number) {
return x + y + z;
}
basic.showNumber(addToZ(1, 2))
```
## Typing the function
Let's add a return type to our add function:
```ts
function add(x: number, y: number): number {
return x + y;
}
```
TypeScript can figure the return type out by looking at the return statements, so you can optionally leave this off in many cases.
# Optional and Default Parameters
In TypeScript, the number of arguments given to a function has to match the number of parameters the function expects.
```ts-ignore
function buildName(firstName: string, lastName: string) {
return firstName + " " + lastName;
}
let result1 = buildName("Bob"); // error, too few parameters
let result2 = buildName("Bob", "Adams", "Sr."); // error, too many parameters
let result3 = buildName("Bob", "Adams"); // ah, just right
```
In JavaScript, every parameter is optional, and users may leave them off as they see fit.
When they do, their value is `undefined`.
We can get this functionality in TypeScript by adding a `?` to the end of parameters we want to be optional.
For example, let's say we want the last name parameter from above to be optional:
```ts-ignore
function buildName(firstName: string, lastName?: string) {
if (lastName)
return firstName + " " + lastName;
else
return firstName;
}
let result1 = buildName("Bob"); // works correctly now
let result2 = buildName("Bob", "Adams", "Sr."); // error, too many parameters
let result3 = buildName("Bob", "Adams"); // ah, just right
```
Any optional parameters must follow required parameters.
Had we wanted to make the first name optional rather than the last name, we would need to change the order of parameters in the function, putting the first name last in the list.
In TypeScript, we can also set a value that a parameter will be assigned if the user does not provide one, or if the user passes `undefined` in its place.
These are called default-initialized parameters.
Let's take the previous example and default the last name to `"Smith"`.
```ts-ignore
function buildName(firstName: string, lastName = "Smith") {
return firstName + " " + lastName;
}
let result1 = buildName("Bob"); // works correctly now, returns "Bob Smith"
let result2 = buildName("Bob", undefined); // still works, also returns "Bob Smith"
let result3 = buildName("Bob", "Adams", "Sr."); // error, too many parameters
let result4 = buildName("Bob", "Adams"); // ah, just right
```
Default-initialized parameters that come after all required parameters are treated as optional, and just like optional parameters, can be omitted when calling their respective function.
This means optional parameters and trailing default parameters will share commonality in their types, so both
```ts
function buildName(firstName: string, lastName?: string) {
// ...
}
```
and
```ts
function buildName(firstName: string, lastName = "Smith") {
// ...
}
```
share the same type `(firstName: string, lastName?: string) => string`.
The default value of `lastName` disappears in the type, only leaving behind the fact that the parameter is optional.
Unlike plain optional parameters, default-initialized parameters don't *need* to occur after required parameters.
If a default-initialized parameter comes before a required parameter, users need to explicitly pass `undefined` to get the default initialized value.
For example, we could write our last example with only a default initializer on `firstName`:
```ts-ignore
function buildName(firstName = "Will", lastName: string) {
return firstName + " " + lastName;
}
let result1 = buildName("Bob"); // error, too few parameters
let result2 = buildName("Bob", "Adams", "Sr."); // error, too many parameters
let result3 = buildName("Bob", "Adams"); // okay and returns "Bob Adams"
let result4 = buildName(undefined, "Adams"); // okay and returns "Will Adams"
```
# Rest Parameters
Required, optional, and default parameters all have one thing in common: they talk about one parameter at a time.
Sometimes, you want to work with multiple parameters as a group, or you may not know how many parameters a function will ultimately take.
In JavaScript, you can work with the arguments directly using the `arguments` variable that is visible inside every function body.
In TypeScript, you can gather these arguments together into a variable:
```ts-ignore
function buildName(firstName: string, ...restOfName: string[]) {
return firstName + " " + restOfName.join(" ");
}
let employeeName = buildName("Joseph", "Samuel", "Lucas", "MacKinzie");
```
*Rest parameters* are treated as a boundless number of optional parameters.
When passing arguments for a rest parameter, you can use as many as you want; you can even pass none.
The compiler will build an array of the arguments passed in with the name given after the ellipsis (`...`), allowing you to use it in your function.
The ellipsis is also used in the type of the function with rest parameters:
```ts-ignore
function buildName(firstName: string, ...restOfName: string[]) {
return firstName + " " + restOfName.join(" ");
}
let buildNameFun: (fname: string, ...rest: string[]) => string = buildName;
```

# JavaScript and TypeScript
You can write micro:bit programs in a subset of [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org), a superset of JavaScript.
Many micro:bit programs, especially at the beginner's level, are just plain JavaScript. TypeScript introduces class-based
object-oriented programming, such as:
```typescript
class Greeter {
greeting: string;
constructor(message: string) {
this.greeting = message;
}
greet() {
return "Hello, " + this.greeting;
}
}
let greeter = new Greeter("world");
basic.showString(greeter.greet())
```
This site is meant for teaching programming first, and JavaScript second. For this
reason, we have stayed away from concepts that are specific to JavaScript (for
example, prototype inheritance), and instead focused on ones common to most
modern programming languages (for example, loops, lexically scoped variables,
functions, classes, lambdas).
We leverage TypeScript's [type inference](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-inference.html) so that
students need not specify types when clear from context.
## Supported language features
* top-level code in the file: "Hello world!" really is just `basic.showString("Hello world!")`
* [basic types](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/basic-types.html)
* [variable declarations](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/variable-declarations.html): `let`, `const`, and `var`
* [functions](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/functions.html) with lexical scoping and recursion
### User-defined types and modules
* [classes](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/classes.html) with fields, methods and constructors; `new` keyword
* [enums](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/enums.html)
* [namespaces](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/namespaces.html) (a form of modules)
### Control-flow constructs
* `if ... else if ... else` statements
* `while` and `do ... while` loops
* `for(;;)` loops (see below about `for ... in/of`)
* `break/continue`; also with labeled loops
* `switch` statement (on numbers only)
* `debugger` statement for breakpoints
### Expressions
* conditional operator `? :`; lazy boolean operators
* all arithmetic operators (including bitwise operators); note that in microcontroller targets
all arithmetic is performed on integers, also when simulating in the browser
* strings (with a few common methods)
* [string templates](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals) (`` `x is ${x}` ``)
* arrow functions `() => ...`
* array literals `[1, 2, 3]`
## Unsupported language features
We generally stay away from the more dynamic parts of JavaScript.
Things you may miss and we may implement:
* exceptions (`throw`, `try ... catch`, `try ... finally`)
* `for ... of` statements
* object literals `{ foo: 1, bar: "two" }`
* method-like properties (get/set accessors)
* class inheritance

## The Semicolon
### The semicolon
Coming soon...
In JavaScript, the semicolon (;) is used to terminate (or end) a statement. However, in most
cases, the semicolon is optional and can be omitted. So both code sequences below are
legal:
```typescript
basic.showNumber(1)
basic.showNumber(2)
```
```typescript
basic.showNumber(1);
basic.showNumber(2);
```
### The empty statement
In JavaScript, there is the concept of an *empty statement*, which is whitespace followed by
a semicolon in the context where a statement is expected.
So, the following code is an infinite loop
followed by a call to `showNumber` that will never execute:
```typescript
while(true) ;
basic.showNumber(1);
```
### ~hint
For the micro:bit, we don't allow a program to contain an empty statement, such as shown above.
If you really want an empty statement, you need to use curly braces to delimit an empty statement block:
```typescript
while(true) { }
basic.showNumber(1);
```

# Types
For programs to be useful, we need to be able to work with some of the simplest units of data:
numbers, strings, structures, boolean values, and the like.
# Boolean
The most basic datatype is the simple true/false value, which is called a `boolean` value.
```ts
let isDone: boolean = false;
```
# Number
### ~ hint
In JavaScript, `numbers` are floating point values.
However, for the micro:bit, `numbers` are integer values.
### ~
Integer values can be specified via decimal, hexadecimal and octal notation:
```ts
let decimal: number = 42;
let hex: number = 0xf00d;
let binary: number = 0b1010;
let octal: number = 0o744;
```
# String
As in other languages, we use the type `string` to refer to textual data.
Use double quotes (`"`) or single quotes (`'`) to surround string data.
```ts
let color: string = "blue";
color = 'red';
```
You can also use *template strings*, which can span multiple lines and have embedded expressions.
These strings are surrounded by the backtick/backquote (`` ` ``) character, and embedded expressions are of the form `${ expr }`.
```ts
let fullName: string = `Bob Bobbington`;
let age: number = 37;
let sentence: string = `Hello, my name is ${ fullName }.
I'll be ${ age + 1 } years old next month.`
```
This is equivalent to declaring `sentence` like so:
```ts
let sentence: string = "Hello, my name is " + fullName + ".\n\n" +
"I'll be " + (age + 1) + " years old next month."
```
# Array
Arrays allow you to work with an expandable sequence of values, addressed by an integer-valued index.
Array types can be written in one of two ways.
In the first, you use the type of the elements followed by `[]` to denote an array of that element type:
```ts
let list: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
```
The second way uses a generic array type, `Array<elemType>`:
```ts
let list: Array<number> = [1, 2, 3];
```
### ~hint
For the micro:bit, all elements of an array must have the same type.
### ~
# Enum
A helpful addition to the standard set of datatypes from JavaScript is the `enum`.
As in languages like C#, an enum is a way of giving more friendly names to sets of numeric values.
```ts
enum Color {Red, Green, Blue};
let c: Color = Color.Green;
```
By default, enums begin numbering their members starting at `0`.
You can change this by manually setting the value of one of its members.
For example, we can start the previous example at `1` instead of `0`:
```ts
enum Color {Red = 1, Green, Blue};
let c: Color = Color.Green;
```
Or, even manually set all the values in the enum:
```ts
enum Color {Red = 1, Green = 2, Blue = 4};
let c: Color = Color.Green;
```
# Any
The TypeScript type `any` is not supported in the micro:bit.
# Void
`void` is the absence of having any type at all.
You may commonly see this as the return type of functions that do not return a value:
```ts
function warnUser(): void {
basic.showString("This is my warning message");
}
```
Declaring variables of type `void` is not useful.
# Type Inference
In TypeScript, there are several places where type inference is used to provide type information when there is
no explicit type annotation. For example, in this code
```ts
let x = 3;
let y = x + 3
```
The type of the `x` variable is inferred to be `number`. Similarly, the type of `y` variable also is inferred to be `number`.
This kind of inference takes place when initializing variables and members,
setting parameter default values, and determining function return types.

# Variable Declarations
Declaring a variable in JavaScript has always traditionally been done with the `var` keyword.
```typescript
var a = 10;
```
The `var` construct has some [problems](http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/variable-declarations.html),
which is why `let` statements were introduced. Apart from the keyword used, `let` statements are written
the same way `var` statements are.
```typescript
let a = 10;
```
The key difference is not in the syntax, but in the semantics, which we'll now dive into.
## Block-scoping
When a variable is declared using `let`, it uses what some call *lexical-scoping* or *block-scoping*.
Unlike variables declared with `var` whose scopes leak out to their containing function,
block-scoped variables are not visible outside of their nearest containing block or `for`-loop.
```typescript
function f(input: boolean) {
let a = 100;
if (input) {
// Still okay to reference 'a'
let b = a + 1;
return b;
}
// Error: 'b' doesn't exist here
return b;
}
```
Here, we have two local variables `a` and `b`.
`a`'s scope is limited to the body of `f` while `b`'s scope is limited to the containing `if` statement's block.
Another property of block-scoped variables is that they can't be read or written to before they're actually declared.
While these variables are "present" throughout their scope, all points up until their declaration are part of their *temporal dead zone*.
This is just a sophisticated way of saying you can't access them before the `let` statement, and luckily TypeScript will let you know that.
```typescript-ignore
a++; // illegal to use 'a' before it's declared;
let a;
```
## Re-declarations
With `var` declarations, it doesn't matter how many times you declare your variables, you just get one:
```typescript
var x = 10;
var x = 20;
```
In the above example, all declarations of `x` actually refer to the *same* `x`, and this is perfectly valid.
This often ends up being a source of bugs. Thankfully, `let` declarations are not as forgiving.
```typescript
let x = 10;
let x = 20; // error: can't re-declare 'x' in the same scope
```
## Shadowing
The act of introducing a new name in a more deeply nested scope is called *shadowing*.
It is a bit of a double-edged sword in that it can introduce certain bugs on its own in the
event of accidental shadowing, while also preventing certain bugs.
For instance, imagine a `sumMatrix` function using `let` variables.
```typescript
function sumMatrix(matrix: number[][]) {
let sum = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
var currentRow = matrix[i];
for (let i = 0; i < currentRow.length; i++) {
sum += currentRow[i];
}
}
return sum;
}
```
This version of the loop will actually perform the summation correctly because the inner loop's `i` shadows `i` from the outer loop.
Shadowing should *usually* be avoided in the interest of write clearer code, such as
```typescript
function sumMatrix(matrix: number[][]) {
let sum = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
var currentRow = matrix[i];
for (let j = 0; j < currentRow.length; j++) {
sum += currentRow[j];
}
}
return sum;
}
```
While there are some scenarios where it may be fitting to take advantage of it, you should use your best judgement.
# `const` declarations
`const` declarations are another way of declaring variables.
```typescript
const numLivesForCat = 9;
```
They are like `let` declarations but, as their name implies, their value cannot be changed once they are bound.
In other words, they have the same scoping rules as `let`, but you can't re-assign to them.

In programming we use an if statement: if this condition is met, do something. Lets add an if statement to the code we had before; the BBC Micro:bit will wait for the user to press a button before showing the image.
### Write the code
Click the **if** category and drag an `if/do` block. Drag the`show string` block we wrote previously into the `do` section of the block. Next click the **input** tab and drag a `button pressed` block, connect it to the open jigsaw of the `if` block. This is our criteria: `if A button is pressed`. We can change which button (button A or B) by clicking the arrow next to A and changing the value. This means our BBC micro:bit is waiting for button A (the left button) to be pressed. Finally go to the **basic** tab and drag a `forever` block, and attach all our code inside. We add this block to ensure the BBC micro:bit is always waiting to show us this message, not just once. Your code should look like this:

```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
if (input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A)) {

The BBC micro:bit checks if the user is pressing the left button, if the user is not then the “Press the button!” message will scroll across the LEDs. If the user is pressing the button then the “hello, world!” message will scroll across the screen. Check this in the simulator or attach the BBC micro:bit to the computer then click **compile** to send the code onto the BBC micro:bit.

Extra stuff for the Block Editor - an introduction to GPIO
## Before we get started
This section details challenges for the BBC micro:bit. Ensure you have completed all other sections of the Microsoft Block Editor tutorials before attempting these challenges!
## Quiz Challenge [1]
Using if statements, try to add more statements to create a simple quiz. The user will be told if the question is right or not, and will have two options (button A and button B).
Here is some sample code for a simple quiz:
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons-0.png)
## Timer Challenge [2]
Create a timer that runs out after a certain amount of time (using the *count* loop). For an extra challenge, let the user input the amount of seconds they want the timer to run for using variables and the buttons as input. The solution is below.
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons-1.png)
## Graphics Challenges [3]
Using the knowledge you have learnt from the [rendering graphics](/lessons/graphics) section, try creating an algorithm to draw these shapes. Before you write the code try to figure out how the BBC micro:bit will be thinking to plot these points. For example, with our diagonal line “count up from 0 to 4 by 1, and plot points x=i and y=i”.
* Another diagonal line
* A square going around the board
* A filled square
* A square which unplots itself after
* A filled square which then unplots itself
The solutions are below.
### Square [3.1]
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons-2.png)
### Filled square [3.2]
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons-3.png)
### Vanishing square [3.3]
Use the same code and algorithm for the square solution, only use the unplot block to make this LED turn off again. You could also reverse the algorithm.
### Vanishing filled square [3.4]
Use the same code and algorithm for the filled square solution, only use the `unplot` block to make this LED turn off again. You could also reverse the algorithm.
## Animation Challenge [4]
Use your new knowledge of animations and algorithms to program your BBC micro:bit to act human: for example, you could make your BBC micro:bit smile and wink. Remember you can display images with the `show image` and `create image` blocks. Sample code is below.
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons-4.png)
## Electronic Dice Challenge [5]
Using the code in the Random Numbers tutorial in Section 6, or your own algorithm, create an electronic dice that displays the values appropriate for a dice (so 1 shows a single LED on in the center, two shows two LEDs on at each corner, etc.). You may want to declare image variables to do this, then check what it is equal to using an if statement. Sample code is below.
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons-4.png)
## Calculator Challenge [6]
Using your knowledge of loops, counters and math, create a calculator.
The calculator should:
* Count the amount of times the user presses the left button before pressing the right button (this is the first value, or valueOne)
* Count the amount of times the user presses the left button before the right button again (this is the second value, or valueTwo)
* Scroll through operations (+,-, x and divide) until the user presses the right button to make a choice
* Perform the calculation
* Show the entire calculation, for example: 5 + 10 = 15
Sample code is below.
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons-5.png)
## Smart watch Challenge [8]
Create a smart watch using the BBC micro:bit. Create a menu where the user presses one button to cycle through options and another button to choose this option. Add applications to this smart watch:
* Calculators

For example, we could draw a straight line with this code:

Our algorithm is: increase **i** by 1 **from 0** to **4**, and **plot** the point **x=i**, **y=0**. The pause block allows this line to be animated (drawn frame by frame).
Try devising an algorithm for a diagonal line using the code above and the variable **i**. Your code should look like this; as our variable increases, so does the location that the BBC micro:bit is plotting at:

# blocks - loops
An introduction to Loops for the Block Editor.
We may want to handle the users input multiple times or remain waiting for their input for a long time. We use loops to make sure that our code runs multiple times. These can be found in the **Loops** drawer.
### Forever loops
In the Variables tutorial we utilised a forever loop to create a counter:
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons/blocks-conditions-2.png)
This allows our BBC micro:bit to wait for the user to do something forever, for example wait for the user to press the correct button as the example above shows. If you were creating a quiz, you may want to loop forever until the user presses the correct button or answers the question.
### Repeat Loops
Repeat loops allow code to happen a certain amount of times. You may want to create a quiz that only gives the user a few tries to get the correct answer, for example. The number can be changed to facilitate your code.
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons/loops-0.png)
The code above will scroll the message, “Hello world” three times.
### While & Until loops
The repeat while loop allows you to continue looping some code until a condition is met. The empty socket next to the while loop allows you to connect some Logic and construct a statement.
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons/loops-1.png)
The code above will scroll the message, “Press it!”, while the user hasnt pressed the button.
* Drag a `set item` block from the **Variables** drawer. Click the **down arrow** and click **New Variable**, and type "pressed". Drag a `0` block from **Maths** to set the variable **pressed** to 0.
* Drag a `repeat while` block from the **Loops** drawer and attach an `=` block from the **Logic** drawer. Drag `item` from the **Variables** drawer and click the **down arrow**, select pressed. Drag a `0` block from Maths and connect it to the other side of the equals. This will carry out the code until pressed does not equal 0.
* Add a `show string` block from the **Basic** drawer and change the message to "Press it!"
* Add an `if` block from the **Logic** drawer, connect a `button pressed` block from the **Input** drawer, and add text from the **Basic** drawer. Change this to A to show we are waiting for button A.
* Inside the do part of the if statement, add a `set` block from the Variables drawer, click the **down arrow** to change it to **pressed** and drag a `1` from the Maths drawer
* Lastly underneath the while loop, add another `show string` block and fill in the gaps.
Test the code above on actual hardware or on the simulator window.
We can also change the code in subtle ways to have a completely different effect:
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons/loops-2.png)
This time we have to press the button three times to leave the while loop.
## Tip
You can press the arrow next to a word in a block to change it. For example, you can change Math functions or change a Logic statement.
### Count or for loops
A count loop allows you to loop a certain amount of times and to change a variable as you do so. For example, we can create a simple counting program:
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons/loops-3.png)
The count loop will repeat a certain amount of times whilst changing a variable. You can click the arrow next to **i** to replace it with any of your own variables. So this program will display numbers 1 to 10.
This loop allows you to repeat code for the amount of times you want to without worrying about manually changing variables. You could use this for a counting program or a timer.

radio.onDataReceived(() => {
message = radio.receiveNumber();
if (message == 0) {
basic.showString("YO")
}
})
```

# Game Library
The game library supports simple single-player time-based games. The player has a **sprite**, number of **lives** and a **score**. The game has a sprite, number of **levels** and a **countdown clock**. The general goal of a game will be to move the sprite and achieve a top score before time runs out or the number of lives goes to zero.
The code below shows a simple game where the user gets to press the button ``A`` as much times as possible in 10 seconds.
```blocks
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
game.addScore(1)
})
game.startCountdown(10000)
```
### [Create sprite](/reference/game/create-sprite)
Create sprite with x, y coordinates and returns a LED Sprite. Create a new LED sprite.
![](/static/mb/create-sprite-0.png)
```
export function createSprite(x: number, y: number) : micro_bitSprites.LedSprite
```
### [Move](/reference/game/move)
Sprite move by a certain number
![](/static/mb/game-library/move-0.png)
```
export function move(_this: micro_bitSprites.LedSprite, leds: number)
```
### [Turn](/reference/game/turn)
Rotates a sprite to the right by a certain number of degrees

```
export function ifOnEdgeBounce(_this: micro_bitSprites.LedSprite)
```
### [Change score by](/reference/game/change-score-by)
When a player achieves a goal, you can increase the game score
* add score points to the current score
![](/static/mb/game-library/pic1.png)
```
export function addScore(points: number)
```
### [Score](/reference/game/score)
* set the current score to a particular value.
```
export function setScore(value: number)
```
* get the current score value
![](/static/mb/game-library/pic2.png)
```
export function score() : number
```
### [Countdown](/reference/game/start-countdown)
If your game has a time limit, you can start a countdown in which case `game->current time` returns the remaining time.
* start a countdown with the maximum duration of the game in milliseconds.
![](/static/mb/game-library/pic3.png)
```
export function startCountdown(ms: number)
```
### [Game over](/reference/game/game-over)
If the `life` reaches zero or the time expires (see countdown), the game enters the **game over** mode. When the game is over, `game->is running` returns false
* check if the game still running.
```
let running = game.isRunning()
```
You can also end the game by calling the `game -> game over` function:
![](/static/mb/game-library/pic0.png)
```
game.gameOver()
```
