/*
  Arrays
 
 Demonstrates the use of  an array to hold pin numbers
 in order to iterate over the pins in a sequence. 
 Lights multiple LEDs in sequence, then in reverse.
 
 Unlike the For Loop tutorial, where the pins have to be
 contiguous, here the pins can be in any random order.
 
 The circuit:
 * LEDs from pins 2 through 7 to ground
