Sound sensor sample code explanation

[RitchieP]

I've just started to try and use the sound sensor recently. I come from a non-electronic background.

There's this line of code in the sample sound sensor with Arduino code.

for(int i=0; i<32; i++)

I want to ask, what is the number 32? Why particularly 32 in this case?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Nice to have you onboard! :D
May I ask which sound sensor you are using now?

I'm currently using the sensor as in this link

Hello! I think this line of code represents the sound sensor reading the sound 32 times in a row and displaying it, for one-time operation. And it doesn't have to be the "32" and you can change it to other number.

I see now, that clears up the confusion. I think it's also probably best to do some explanation on the code to avoid more confusion in the future.
