How to get Array Position State with digitalRead ?

Projects General Guidance

If the goal is to read the settings of the dip switches into an array, you have to define an array:

bool dipSwitch[ 4 ] ;

Then later load the array (could be more compact and could be inverted):

if(digitalRead(dipPins[ i ] ) == LOW){
dipSwitch[ i ] = LOW ;
}
else {
dipSwitch[ i ] = HIGH;
}

Important also to know is how the dip switches are wired and what you are going to do with pull up or pull down resistors.
