    In mobile apps, the events that happen are the results of the user doing something (on a click of
                         button the orientation of the phone screen changes)
                      What are Event Handlers?

                      Event handler is a block of code which get executed when the event occurs and it is associated with
                      the event.
                      Examples of Event Handlers:
                          In Makecode Arcade, you display message by using ‘splash’ block . ‘splash’ block will get execute
                         when you click on ‘start the simulator’ button. In this ‘start the simulator’ button is an event handler.
                         When you click “send” for a text message, it sends the message and makes a sound.

                         When you purchase an app from an app store, the phone asks for a password.
                         When you click an icon for an app, the app opens.

                            Traffic lights contain sensors that are programmed to calculate how many cars or pedestrians are
                           present at a specific point.
                            Coding or programming, is the process of creating codes to instruct a computer to perform a specific
                           task.
                            To interact with computers, you need a language that the computer understands, which is called a
                           programming language.
                            A dictionary is a book that contains words and phrases in alphabetical order with their meanings.
                            Pseudocode is used to describe the steps of an algorithm in a human-understandable language.

                            MakeCode Arcade is a free, open-source, online integrated development environment (IDE) for game
                           production.
                            Block Toolbox, Programming Workspace, Game Simulator, Game Controls, etc. are some components
                           of the Makecode Arcade Window.
                            Sprites blocks, controller blocks, game blocks, etc. are types of blocks category.
                            We can add a sprite using the given two options: creating a new sprite using the image editor or using
                           a built-in sprite from Gallery.
                            Block-based coding uses a drag and drop approach.
