Noob question: How do I make a second loop?

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

I need to loop one set of code after another one is finished. I need this code to loop

digitalWrite (led5, HIGH); //starts beeping
delay(100);
digitalWrite (led5, LOW);
delay(100);

digitalWrite (led5, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite (led5, LOW);
delay(100);

digitalWrite (led5, HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite (led5, LOW);
delay(100);
}

After a similar code ends.
Thanks a head of time guys!!!

Just put the new code after the first set of code.

Do you have other stuff going on too?

void loop(){
if (1stsequenceFlag == 1){
// perform 2nd sequence all the time after 1st sequence runs 1 time)
  }
if (1stsequenceFlag == 0){
// perform 1st sequence
1stsequenceFlag = 1;
  }
//do other loop stuff
} // end loop

could do similar with switch:case statements

void loopI){
switch (sequenceNumber){
case 0:
// do 1 time code
sequenceNumber = 1;
break;
case 1:
// do the repeating code
break;
}
// do other code in loop
}

I did that, but the timing gets all messed up. It works, just not the way I want it to. Besides, When I make the thing 20 led's are going to light up one after the other, and then a buzzer beeps.
Thanks for the input.

Thanks dude! I'll see how it works.

Ok. Now i'm going to bug you again, How would I implement that string of code? Sorry, i'm just learning c++ and this is all new too me.

Look up the Arduino reference (click!), and find out about the language and its commands.

Also search this forum for "blink without delay".
