Even thought that electricity is flowing through a 10 kohm resistor, we can still get a reading of HIGH(5v) in the digital pin the button is connected to.

// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards.

// give it a name:

int led = 13;

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:

void setup() {

  // initialize the digital pin as an output.

  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);

}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:

void loop() {

  digitalWrite(led, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)

  delay(1000);               // wait for a second

  digitalWrite(led, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW

  delay(1000);               // wait for a second

}
