Arduino Questions and Answers – Mathematical Functions

This set of Arduino Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Mathematical Functions”.

1. What is the math function to find out the minimum of 2 numbers?
a) The min() function
b) The minimum_number() function
c) The m() function
d) The minimumOf() function
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The min() function takes in 2 arguments and outputs only 1 number. This function finds out the minimum of the 2 numbers that are entered as arguments to the function. This function is essential in sorting techniques.

2. What is the math function to find out the maximum of 2 numbers?
a) The maximumOf() function
b) The maximum_number() function
c) The max() function
d) The m() function
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The max() function takes in 2 arguments and outputs only 1 number. This function finds out the maximum of the 2 numbers that are entered as arguments to the function. This function is essential in sorting techniques.

3. What is the maximum number of arguments for the constrain() function?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The constrain() function is used to restrict the output from going below or above a certain minimum or maximum number respectively. It takes three arguments; the number to be contrained, the minimum value, and the maximum value.

4. What is the maximum number of arguments for the map() function?
a) 1
b) 3
c) 5
d) 7
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The map() function is used to map a number from one number set to another number set. It takes three arguments; the number to be mapped, the lowest number of the source number set, the highest number of the source number set, the lowest number of the destination number set, the highest number of the destination number set.

5. What is the purpose of the pow(x,y) function?
a) To find xy
b) To find yx
c) To find ex
d) To find 10y
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The pow() function is used to find the value of a number raised to another number. It takes two arguments; the base, and the exponent. The input datatypes are of the float datatype and the output is of the double datatype.
