ive done it before i know im just being a plum about this,
basically i have a score which i want to print to the LCD
i no i can use the following command to print the output to the lcd
lcd.print(Team2count);
but what i really want is
"Team 1, OUTPUT HERE"
and i was pretty sure i used the following before to accomplish this
lcd.print("TEXT", Team2count);
or something along them lines, can anyone point me in the right direction please/.
Why not consult the reference?
i have had a look on the following page
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/LiquidCrystalPrint
which references what i thought was correct,
lcd.print(data, BASE)
lcd.print(data, BASE)
data is a number.
This is used to print numbers in a specific format.
Example: base can be DEC (decimal), HEX (hexadecimal), BIN (binary) and OCT (octal).
I think what you are asking is something that sprintf() offers.

Excluding float from the last URL.
Just a wild suggestion but how about
lcd.print("Team 1 ");
lcd.print(Team1count);
UKHeliBob wont that print it on 2 seperate lines i need it to print on the same line
Hi,
lcd.print("Team 1 ");
lcd.print(Team1count);
Why don't you be adventurous and try it.
Give Team1count a value.

As Tom has pointed out it is easy for you to experiment and find out.
For bonus points you could position the cursor exactly where you need it before each print statement and leave out the trailing space on the text.
To reach SuperStar status try printing a score of 99 then later a score of 1 without the screen showing an apparent score of 19.
None of this requires more than a few lines of test code before you incorporate the solution into a larger program.
Thanks guys
