For Loop

for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++){ Debug.Log(“hello”);}

28

Functions

• Called Methods in C#Functions (called methods in C#)

● allows us to compartmentalize and reuse code effeciently

public int SquareANumber(int number){ return number * number;}

29

Basic Unity Functions

• Awake()

• Start()

• Update()

• FixedUpdate()

• LateUpdate()
