The correct LED pin independent of which board is used. It is attached to digital pin 13, on MKR1000 on pin 6. Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. Turns an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.

The explanation of how these bytes are used is beyond the scope of this tutorial, you can take a look at the native Arduino code here: GitHub > ArduinoCore-avr (you have this folder on your PC after installing the IDE as well, but it’s really hard to find it). So even though you didn’t write any character of the code, the blank program already spends 444 bytes of Flash memory and 9 bytes of RAM. Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. “Sketch uses 444 bytes (1%) of program storage space. To prove this, please press the “Verify” button and wait for the result of the compilation. When you press the button “Verify”, it creates a temporary file with the extension ‘cpp’ and copies your code into certain places, and this file does have the main function and some other code. The thing is that Arduino hides it from you. The attentive readers may wonder why there is no main function that is always present in the C/C++ language. In the loop function, you write what you want your MCU to do repeatedly. So in the setup function, you write the initialization part of the code: configurations of the inputs/outputs, peripheral modules, external libraries, etc.

The setup function (as follows from the comment in line 2) is invoked only once after resetting the MCU, while the loop function is invoked repeatedly while the MCU is powered, in an endless loop. As you can see, there are two empty functions: setup (lines 1-4) and loop (lines 6-9).
