Circuit Designing on Breadboard

Instructions for Digital Pins From Arduino to breadboard:
-> pin D2 is connected to one leg of pushButton1 .
-> pin D7 is connected to one leg of pushButton2.
-> pin D8 is connected to +ive terminal leg LED through resistor
-> And Finally pin D12 is connected to +ive terminal leg Buzzer through resistor

And other Connection Look at Schematic Picture and YOU ARE DONE !
