Beginner 7 segment display

  if(v > 99) 
    return;

Is this necessary? In the for loop, v will never be more than 99.

  int ones;
  int tens;
  boolean zero; 
  
  if(v > 99) 
    return;
  ones=v%10;
  v=v/10;
  tens=v%10;
  v=v/10;

It's perfectly OK (preferred even) to declare and initialize the variable at the same time:

  byte ones=v%10;
  v=v/10;
  byte tens=v%10;
  v=v/10;

Reassigning a value to the loop index inside the loop is generally not a good idea. In this case, though, it is a particularly bad idea.
