Detecting Obstacles and Warning - Arduino and Ultrasonic

This Arduino code uses an ultrasonic sensor and buzzer to detect obstacles and provide a warning. It defines pins for the ultrasonic trigger, echo, and buzzer. In the setup, it configures the trigger pin as output and echo and buzzer pins as input. The main loop sends a pulse on trigger, measures the echo duration to calculate distance, and triggers the buzzer if the distance is less than 0.5 meters.

something be closer than 0.5 meter Circuit is ultrasonic sensor and
buzzer +5v and Arduino uno is used
