-{} Curly Braces
-===============
-
-Curly braces (also referred to as just "braces" or as "curly
-brackets") are a major part of the C programming language. They are
-used in several different constructs, outlined below, and this can
-sometimes be confusing for beginners.
-
-
-
-An opening curly brace "{" must always be followed by a closing
-curly brace "}". This is a condition that is often referred to as
-the braces being balanced. The Arduino IDE (integrated development
-environment) includes a convenient feature to check the balance of
-curly braces. Just select a brace, or even click the insertion
-point immediately following a brace, and its logical companion will
-be highlighted.
-
-
-
-At present this feature is slightly buggy as the IDE will often
-find (incorrectly) a brace in text that has been "commented out."
-
-
-
-Beginning programmers, and programmers coming to C from the BASIC
-language often find using braces confusing or daunting. After all,
-the same curly braces replace the RETURN statement in a subroutine
-(function), the ENDIF statement in a conditional and the NEXT
-statement in a FOR loop.
-
-
-
-Because the use of the curly brace is so varied, it is good
-programming practice to type the closing brace immediately after
-typing the opening brace when inserting a construct which requires
-curly braces. Then insert some carriage returns between your braces
-and begin inserting statements. Your braces, and your attitude,
-will never become unbalanced.
-
-
-
-Unbalanced braces can often lead to cryptic, impenetrable compiler
-errors that can sometimes be hard to track down in a large program.
-Because of their varied usages, braces are also incredibly
-important to the syntax of a program and moving a brace one or two
-lines will often dramatically affect the meaning of a program.

-
-Loops
------
-
-::
-
- while (boolean expression)
- {
- statement(s)
- }
-
- do
- {
- statement(s)

-
- for (initialisation; termination condition; incrementing expr)
- {
- statement(s)
- }
-
-
-
-Conditional statements
-----------------------

- if (boolean expression)
- {
- statement(s)
- }
-
- else if (boolean expression)
- {
- statement(s)
- }
- else
- {
- statement(s)
