this is the whole thing, still not finished, I would like to replace all the lines

pin(led5);
pin(led6);
pin(led7);
pin(led8);
pin(led9);
pin(led10);
pin(led11);
pin(led12);
pin(led13);

etc with a for loop something like

for (int x=5;x < 9; x++)
{
pin(led(x));
}

but I can't find the correct format.
