| - | For characterizing light intensiveness physical concept called light intensity (E) is used, this shows the quantity of light reaching any given surface. Measuring unit is lux (lx), where 1 lux represents, the even flow of light 1 lumen, falling on a surface of 1m2. Hardly ever in reality falls light (living area) on a surface evenly and therefore light intensity is reached generally as a average number. Below are few examples of light intensity for comparison: | + | For characterizing light intensiveness physical concept called light intensity (E) is used, this shows the quantity of light reaching any given surface.

| - | In the example program variables of voltage, resistance and intensity are defined using type //double// of floating-point variables. The variables which should be used as floating-point variables must always contain a decimal point (it can be also just 0, because then the compiler understands it correctly). When using //sprintf// for converting floating-point variable to text, “%f” format must be used, this may be enhanced using integers and decimal places. For example: “%3.2”, which displays always 3 integers and 2 decimal places. | ||
