Schematics

Make the connections as per schematic diagram.

Code

The Project code.

Arduino
The code for project is given below.
you have to make the connections as per code.
I would like to suggest you guys that you should write the code and must not just copy paste it.
You can have a look to the value recorder in arduino monitor just go to tools and then Serial Monitor.
Always remember to put the rate same.Here, I'm going with baud rate 9600 and so I will set the rate of Serial Monitor also to 9600.
const int ledPin = 8;
const int ldrPin = A0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ldrPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
int ldrStatus = analogRead(ldrPin);
Serial.print(ldrStatus);
if (ldrStatus <= 70) {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
Serial.print("   Turning ON the LED : ");
Serial.println(ldrStatus);
} 
else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
Serial.print("    Turning OFF the LED : ");
Serial.println(ldrStatus);
}
}
