This project has the same setup as Nightlamp and Softlight with the difference being that this project uses a thermistor to detect how much voltage should be running through the circuit. So when the program runs the thermistor will detect the temperature and with that change its resistance. This resistance will tell us how hot it is and how much voltage is going through the system. As for the code I aligned the comments, added comments to the conditional, and I moved all the variable declarations to be outside the loop.
