Its Value is represented as meters per second squared.

Syntax:

accelerationY

Example 1:

Javascript

// Acceleration changes. 
function setup() 
{ 
  createCanvas(400,400) 
} 
  
function draw() { 
  background(270); 
    
  fill('red'); 
  textAlign(CENTER,CENTER); 
  textSize(50); 
  // Convert the acceleration into integer when 
  // Device is moved along y-axis. 
  text(int(accelerationY),windowWidth/2,windowHeight/2); 
}

Output:

Example 2:

Javascript

// Move a touchscreen device to register 
// acceleration changes. 
function draw() { 
  createCanvas(400,400); 
  background(220); 
  fill('blue'); 
    
  //Set the variable. 
  square(width/2, height/2, accelerationY); 
}
