What is the purpose of the component labeled "SW" in the schematic?
What is the function of the component labeled "D2" in the circuit?
How many resistors are present in the circuit and what is the name of the second one?


=====
Followed by:

State why the questions relate to the code, and provide the answers

The component labeled "SW" in the schematic is a switch. This is determined by the "SW" label and the "L SW" notation in the $Comp section of the code.
The component labeled "D2" in the circuit is a diode. This is determined by the "D2" label and the "L DIODE" notation in the $Comp section of the code. Diodes are component that allow current flow in only one direction.
There are 2 resistors present in the circuit and the name of the second one is "R2". This is determined by the "L R" notation and the labels "R1" and "R2" in the $Comp section of the code. Also the quantity of R component in the code is 2.
