C/C++
It's an arduino .ino file. You upload it to an arduino.

int flag=0;        //makes sure that the serial only prints once the state

    // sets the pins as outputs:
    pinMode(motorPin1, OUTPUT);
    pinMode(motorPin2, OUTPUT);
    pinMode(enablePin, OUTPUT);
    // sets enablePin high so that motor can turn on:
    digitalWrite(enablePin, HIGH);

    Serial.begin(9600);
}

      flag=0;
