How to move a variable to port

Projects General Guidance
1

A variable declared as int, whose value is incremented with some value after every 1 milli second.

I want to send this value to port C whenever increment happens. How to achieve this

That will be tough seeing as how ports are 8 bits wide.

Not sure what you mean.
An int is 16 bits long and a port is only 8 bits so basically you can’t.

If you just want to transfer 8 bits to a port then

PORTC = variable;

Should do it.
See Arduino Reference - Arduino Reference

Note in an Arduino Uno port C only has 6 outputs you can use.

Uno Rev3 has no ports with > 6 bits open if you count RX and TX as taken.
A 328P running on internal clock gets all 8 bits of Port B open.
