Documented Code

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

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

}

The provided code is a template with empty setup() and loop() functions, which are the entry points for Arduino code. The setup() function is called once when the program starts and is used to initialize settings. The loop() function runs repeatedly, allowing the program to change and respond. The actual implementation of the circuit's functionality would be placed within these functions.
