Hi friends,
Its nice to see u after a long time,
Presently I have started the ARDUINO Micro controller and I am having one doubt i.e, where the program execution will start and why the main function is not used here.here

A little bit of Google goes a long way.

The setup() section is first and these instructions are executed at power on. Then the program in loop() is executed. It is loop() that takes the place of main().

Arduinos can be fun to use so ... enjoy!

Hi Pavan,
Could I just add, that loop() is executed as a indefinite loop and is different from main() which is executed once only. The setup() is executed first and is generally used to configure outputs, registers, and peripherals. Arduino is great to start microcontroller programming with and resources on the internet are fairly comprehensive
