For this part, you will write a source file that experimentally tests the efficiency of math- ematical operations when using different variable types. To do this, create a volatile int variable initialized to some nonzero value and, in a loop, multiply the variable by 2 a total of 1000 times. Use the serial monitor to display the amount of time in microseconds that the loop took to execute (side note: the purpose of using the volatile keyword is to prevent the compiler from optimizing out the loop altogether. In general, the optimizer looks for sections of code that it deems unimportant to the application, and removes them. Try it without volatile, and see what happens). Redo the experiment using a volatile float variable type and record the difference in time between the two experiments. Com- ment on the significance of the results. How does this relate to the architecture of the ATmega328P?
