Background

We try to showcase the capabilities of the Lab and the robots with interesting programs.

This is a NEPO task, make sure to read the info.

Task

write a program for the Calliope simulator, that

• sets a counter var to 0
• in an endless loop, check whether button A is pressed
• if true, increment the counter, but reset to 0, if 9 is approached

what happens, if you press the button for a long time? How can this "increment loop" avoided?

Deliverables

The program(s). A text to explain the difference between a "button click" and "button is pressed" to a novice programmer.
