Bluetooth single Function

Hi All

void loop()
{

  if(Serial.available()){
  while(Serial.available())
    {
      char inChar = (char)Serial.read(); //read the input
      inputString += inChar;        //make a string of the characters coming on serial
    }
    Serial.println(inputString);
    while (Serial.available() > 0)  
    { junk = Serial.read() ; }      // clear the serial buffer

Dear all I found above program from the Internet and it has three Serial.available() functions

1

 if(Serial.available()){

2

while(Serial.available())

3

 while (Serial.available() > 0)

I thinks we can manage single Serial.available() Function

Please advice the reason to use three Serial.available() functions

Thanks in advance

The author of the code wasn't very smart?

The first if is completely not needed. The two while loops are doing different things entirely. But anytime you see the words "clear the Serial buffer" in some code your first thought should be that the person who wrote it was an idiot and didn't know much about writing code.

Actually what is the duty of this two while loops

while(Serial.available())
 while (Serial.available() > 0)

Please advice

Thanks in advance

Those two while expressions are functionally equivalent. Like I said, whomever wrote this wasn't much of a coder. It would probably be best to forget you ever saw that code.

Does this function (Serial.available() > 0) read the UDRn Register of MEGA 328

Please advice

No. It just looks to see how many characters are in the 64 byte buffer.

Can we able to see the ARDUINO library file that what happen in side the Serial.available() Function

Please advice

Thanks in advance

Yes, look in the folder where you installed the Arduino IDE. All of the source code is there. You're looking for HardwareSerial.h and HardwareSerial.cpp
