Arrays of chars
Initialzing an
array of chars char message[] = {"hello"};
Initialzing an
array of an
array of chars
char message[][6] = {
{"hello"},
{"there"},
};
Length of
longest char
array in array
The compiler counts the elements and creates an array
of the appropriate size (length, starting at zero,
plus 1 for the null character '0' at the end)
Automatically
calculated (=2)

Arrays of chars
Printing an array of
chars in the array
(sizeof(message) / sizeof(message[0]));
Get number of arrays of
chars in the array
Serial.println(message[i]);
Index of array of
chars in array
total bytes in array / bytes of first element
= total number of elements

iteration: changes how many times the main loop
runs. This will impact how many bytes are
rewritten in the image data portion of the
image (smaller the iteration, the more loops
and the more bytes transformed).
seed: changes how many bytes are skipped over
each time the loop runs as it moves from the
top to the bottom of the pixel data. (larger
the parameter, fewer bytes overwritten because
more bytes skipped over).
amount: the value of the new byte which is
overwritten each time through the loop. (larger
the value, larger the byte value the byte is
replaced with).

Float is a datatype for:
A number that has a decimal point.
Can store: 3.4028235E+38 to -3.4028235E+38.
6-7 decimal digits of precision (total
number of digits, not the number to the
right of the decimal point.)
Unlike other platforms, where you can get
more precision by using a double (e.g. up
to 15 digits), on the Arduino, double is
the same size as float.
One radian is 180/ degrees or just under
π
57.3°
