About Variables and Procedures

This chapter discusses how to create and use ATEasy variables, data types, and procedures. You will declare two program variables: i and adSamples. The first one will be used as a loop counter, while the second will be defined as an array. It will contain values to be passed to a procedure named Average. You will write this procedure to calculate the average of an array.

You will also learn about ATEasy statements and the internal library. Use the table below to learn more about this chapter's topics.
