Starting with a very simple program...

void setup() {
  tone(11, 220, 60);
  delay(100);
  tone(11, 440, 60);
  delay(100);
  tone(11, 880, 60);
  delay(1000);
}

void loop() {
}

How do frequencies relate to tones... See Piano key frequencies

Incrementing 3 ways

All 3 are ways to add 1 to the variable x.

x = x + 1
x++;
x += 1;

Simple counting loop (while loop)

Counting to 10 with a while loop...

Three main parts,

• Initializing the variable
• The "control" in the while (....)
• Incrementing

void setup() {
  int counter = 0;
  while (counter < 10) {
    tone(11, 440, 50);
    delay(1000);
    tone(11, 220, 50);
    delay(1000);
    counter = counter + 1;
  }
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

full text with Serial tracing

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("hello");
  
  int counter = 0;
  Serial.print("YOUR Kounter is now ");
  Serial.println(counter);
  
  while (counter < 10) {
    tone(11, 440, 50);
    delay(1000);
    tone(11, 220, 50);
    delay(1000);

    counter = counter + 1;
    Serial.println(counter);
  }
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

Simple counting loop (for loop)

Counting to 10 with a for loop...

Same three parts:

• Initializing the variable
• The "control" in the while (....)
• Incrementing

But written in "short hand" in the form:

 for (initialize; condition; increment)

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("hello");
  
  Serial.print("YOUR Kounter is now ");
  
  
  for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    tone(11, 330, 10);
    tone(11, 440, 50);
    delay(1000);
    tone(11, 220, 50);
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println(i);
    
  }
}
void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}
