This project introduces a new storage type -- settings. Settings are kept in your device's EEPROM. They are referred to as "persistent storage" because they retain their values even when the device is powered off. Settings are incredibly important, as they provide a way to store your application's operating parameters.

As you already know, settings are stored in the EEPROM. They are used to keep the operating parameters of your application. Settings retain their values even if your device is powered down or rebooted. Thus, there is no such thing as routinely initializing the settings at boot -- something that always happens to regular variables.
