Step 9  Now, place a 220-ohm resistor on the breadboard so that one end of the resistor connects
                          to the common pin of the segment and the other end connects to the negative rail of the
                          breadboard.




















                 Step 10  Connect all the remaining pins of the 7-segment display to the positive rail of the breadboard
                          as shown in the image.






















                 Circuit Operation


                 When the 9V battery is connected to the circuit, the 7805 voltage regulator IC steps down the
                 voltage to a stable 5V. This regulated voltage powers the 7-segment display. By connecting specific
                 pins of the display to the power and ground, individual segments light up to form numbers.
