how to increment and decrement ?
for example

void loop()
{time = 4;
time += 1;}

so how to incremnet
so for example it's 4 after a loop it's 5 after a loop it's 6 after a loop it's 7....

something like this:

int time = 0;

setup()
{
    time = 4;
}

loop()
{
    time++;
}

In your case, time is set to 4 each time loop is entered.

Check the above reference. If you are a newbie, I would first explore the references provided on the official website.

He knows how to increment, I think he was wondering why it started from 4 all the time!

btw, JHjh,

time += 1;

is perfectly fine, too.

Short hand

time++;

long hand

time=time+1

decrement - not +

Note time++; is NOT the same as ++time; time++; means increment AFTER use ++time means increment before use.

Can you spot the in joke that names a computer language?

Did you look here?

Useing a for loop sounds like it would work too

I personally prefer "time += 1;" to "time++;" because then I can easily edit if I want a different increment amount. Yeah, I'm lazy! :slight_smile:

Thank you KeithRB but I want that my code take the last value incremented and continue incrementing
for example

void loop()
{time ++;}

so then if time is 4 and it increment one it will be 5
and next loop it will start 5 and be 6

thank you everyone!!!

You will have to put an extra increment at the end of the loop function, or increment by 2:

time +=2

Serial.println();
     Serial.println();
      
}

so I change it is it good now please thank you

Use the auto format in the tools section to layout your code - it will help you and if you post the code us! Good code layout is not just something you do it helps you find bugs!

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

No I like the artistic value of it - that four lines of code let me think of spring, when birds return in flocks.

(yeah it was a cold wind today)

But one of them is upside-down ( or, conversely, depending on which way you tilt your head, four of them are upside down)

that's not upside-down, that's just the rebel of the flock, the rest are flying South, and that fella's going North...
