Instruction;
1) Connect cathode lead of LED (shorter lead) to ground pin and anode lead of LED (longer lead) to pin 13.

2) Add switch to breadboard, connect one of the switch lead to 5V pin.

3) Add 10kΩ resistor as in diagram and connect another switch lead to digital pin 2.

4) Connect GND to 10kΩ resistor.
