i have five questions with it,

  1. what does it mean by “revolution”, one traveled circle distance?

2.when u preset the encoder, can u preset the same encoder later on in the program flow under the same condition? ex: while (1==1), if (a==0)…etc?

  1. when u preset the value for an encoder and then start it, does it mean the encoder starts to count distance? if so, is there really a point of presetting the value for it?

  2. what is the purpose of presetting the encoder? so it doesn’t start at negative value (or any other unknown value?)

5.when using the syntax, “start”, what does that mean to invert the direction? so it can measure it in counter-clockwise or clockwise? Does it always measure in clockwise?

Yes, “revolution” refers to one traveled circle distance. Unfortunately we can not answer programming questions. You should post these types of questions in the section were the VEX community can answer them.
