Step 2: Program It

Using micro bit MakeCode Block editor https://makecode.microbit.org/, write your first micro:bit code. You can drag and drop some example blocks and try your program on the Simulator in the Javascript Blocks Editor, like in the image below.

Click the JavaScript, you can see the corresponding program code. Shown as below figure.
