radioshack 7-segment red led 0.3" digital display help please...

ok, keep in mind we are new to arduino and all this.. so we don't understand as much as you guys..

does each pin require a resistor? if so, which?

i thought this thing was going to be fun, so i bought the arduino for my son and a bunch of misc parts on ebay.. so we don't have everything we need, but slowly getting it and getting the parts we need.

so please be patient... i don't want every post i make to turn into an argument with people on here...

if there is a schematic for the exact one we have, we would like to see it... we never wired up a digit led before. we just don't get it atm
