What type of programming is done in microwave and washing machine?

Microwave ovens typically use embedded programming, which involves low-level programming to control the heating elements, timers, and user interfaces, allowing for functions like popcorn settings or defrosting. Washing machines utilize a combination of embedded programming and control algorithms to manage various cycles, water levels, and spin speeds based on user input. Both appliances rely on microcontrollers to execute their programmed functions efficiently and respond to user commands.
