Instructions

Every template communicates with the outer world through its iopins.

Their role is very similar to the iopins of every electronical integrated circuit. Unlike the iopins of integrated circuit, iopins of template does not carry current but rather values and their changes over time (numbers, bits, strings).

You can see that our analog clock template communicates through three iopins called Hours, Minutes, and Seconds.

As you can guess, by sending a value to one of those iopins, the respective hand of the analog clock will move itself to the appropriate position.
