The code begins by defining pins and variables
for various components such as the speaker, control
cables, and the pins for the 7-segment displays.
Initially, the speaker pin and display pins are
configured, and the counter is initialized with a
random number between 10 and 99. In the setup

IV. CONCLUSION
This project successfully demonstrated the
integration of multiple digital components using
Arduino to create an interactive bomb simulation.
The use of 7-segment displays, CD4511 decoders,
