Seven segment skipping

[ambangeles]

Hello Everyone! I am a beginner at Arduino and I have a question. I am having a problem with my 7 segment display. It is skipping number 4 on its first run and on its second run, it is back to normal.

Here is my code:

// C++ code
//
int A = 1;
int B = 2;
int C = 3;
int D = 4;
int E = 5;
int F = 6;
int G = 7;
  
void setup()
{
  pinMode(A, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(B, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(C, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(D, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(E, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(F, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(G, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  //0
  digitalWrite(A, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(B, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(C, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(D, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(E, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(F, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(G, LOW);
  delay(500);

  digitalWrite(A, LOW);
  digitalWrite(B, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(C, HIGH);

int A = 1;

Don’t use pins 0 or 1 as these are involved with serial loading of code.

Also most importantly you can’t use just one resistor in the cathode because the display brightness will depend on how many segments are lit. Each anode needs its own current limiting resistor and the cathode should be connected to ground.

Changing the pins solved my problem! Thank you so much!
