The first job of the scheduler is to allow multiple *subprograms* to be queued up for later execution . For our purposes, a subprogram is just a statement or sequence of statements in the context of a larger program. Consider the Touch Develop program below for counting button presses.
```
export function countButtonPresses() {
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
count = count + 1
})
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showNumber(count, 150)

```
```blocks
let count = 0
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
count = count + 1

})
```
informs the scheduler that on each and every event of the A button being pressed, a subprogram (called the event handler) should be queued for execution. The event handler is demarcated by the do/end keywords; it increments the global variable `count` by one. The second statement

basic.forever(() => {

The program above contains three statements that execute in order from top to bottom.
The first statement initializes the global variable `count` to zero.

The function ends after the execution of these three statements, but this is not the end of program execution! Thats because the function queued the `forever` loop for execution by the scheduler.
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).

As a result, you can easily add a new capability to the micro:bit by just adding a new subprogram.

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:
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons/blocks-conditions-1.png)
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
if (input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A)) {
basic.showString("hello world!")
}
})

Again, test the code in the simulator. Try clicking **Button A** to display the "hello, world!" message every time the `button is pressed`.

basic.forever(() => {
if (input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A)) {
basic.showString("hello world!")
} else {
basic.showString("PRESS A")
}
})
```
So, to recap: the `forever` block makes sure our code runs forever. 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:

## 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
* Games
* Random number generators
And any other applications you can think of.

### Devising algorithms for shapes
An algorithm is a set of steps to follow to solve a problem. We can begin to draw shapes on the BBC micro:bit using an algorithm. For example, we could draw a straight line with this code:
An algorithm is a set of steps to follow to solve a problem. We can begin to draw shapes on the BBC micro:bit using an algorithm.
For example, we could draw a straight line with this code:
![](/static/mb/blocks/lessons/graphics-2.png)
```blocks
for(let i = 0; i <=4; i++) {
led.plot(i, 0);
basic.pause(200)
}
```
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.

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

# On Pin Released
Start an [event handler](/reference/event-handler) (part of the
program that will run when something happens, like when a button is
pressed). This handler works when you release pin `0`, `1`, or `2`
together with `GND`. When you are using this function in a web
browser, click and release the pins on the screen instead of the ones on the BBC
micro:bit.
If you hold the `GND` pin with one hand and touch pin `0`, `1`, or `2`
with the other, a very small (safe) amount of electricity will flow
through your body and back into the micro:bit. This is called
**completing a circuit**. It's like you're a big wire!
```sig
input.onPinReleased(TouchPin.P0, () => {
})
```
## ~hint
This function works best when the BBC micro:bit is using batteries for power,
instead of the USB cable.
## ~
## Parameters
* ``name`` means the pin that is being released, either `P0`, `P1`, or `P2`
### Example: pin pressed counter
This program counts how many times you release the `P0` pin.
Every time you release the pin, the program shows the number of times on the screen.
```blocks
let count = 0
basic.showNumber(count, 100)
input.onPinReleased(TouchPin.P0, () => {
count = count + 1
basic.showNumber(count, 100)
})

# Off-line support
The micro:bit pins.
## How to work offline
If you have loaded the web app at some time in the past (by clicking on "my scripts" from the home page), then if you later open the same browser (whether you are online or offline) and type in [https://codethemicrobit.com/](https://codethemicrobit.com/), you will be able to access all the features of the web app. Note that it is important to end the URL with "/".
## Save and load code using files
![](/static/mb/offline-0.png)
The micro:bit automatically saves and synchronises scripts for signed-in users through the cloud. We also decided to also support file save/load for offline support and sharing via email and other storage providers. Users are now able to import and export scripts as files. For example, they can simply email it or submit them in their classroom portal.
![](/static/mb/offline-1.png)
## The new in-browser compiler
The compilation from a script to ARM machine code is now done entirely in the browser (read the [in depth story](https://www.touchdevelop.com/docs/touch-develop-in-208-bits) about building the compiler). The new compiler is used by the Block Editor, Touch Develop and Code Kingdoms to create a .hex file solely within the confines of your web browser (no Internet connection is needed). The micro:bit compilation process is shown below:
![](/static/mb/offline-2.png)
The C++ compiler is now only used to compile the micro:bit runtime - this is done offline by the micro:bit team and the pre-compiled runtime is linked with your compiled script in the browser.
Compiled .hex files can also be imported back into the web site. This make it easy for a teacher to review the source of a script by simply drag and dropping the file into the editor.

# Pulse In
Returns the duration of a pulse (high or low) from a [pin](/device/pins) on
the micro:bit board in microseconds.
```sig
pins.pulseIn(DigitalPin.P0, PulseValue.High)
```
### ~avatar
Some pins are also used by the [LED screen](/device/screen).
Please read the [page about pins](/device/pins) carefully.
### ~
### Parameters
* ``name`` is a [string](/reference/types/string) that stores the name of the pin (``P0``, ``P1``, or ``P2``, up through ``P20``)
* ``value`` is the value of the pulse, ``high`` or ``low``
* ``maxDuration``, maximum duration in micro-seconds. If no pulse is received
### Returns
* a [number](/reference/types/number) that represents the pulse duration in micro-seconds
### Example: Measuring distance with a sonar
The following script sends a pulse on ``P0`` and reads the pulse returned by a HC-SR04 sonar to determine the distance of the object in front of the sensor.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
// send pulse
pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P0, 0)
control.waitMicros(2)
pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P0, 1)
control.waitMicros(10)
pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P0, 0)
// read pulse
led.plotBarGraph(pins.pulseIn(DigitalPin.P1, PulseValue.High) / 58, 0)
basic.pause(100)
})
