Syntax

Inc Variable {, IncrementVariable}

Overview

Increment a variable i.e. Variable = Variable + 1, or increment a variable by the value held in parameter 2. i.e. Variable = Variable + IncrementVariable

Parameters

Variable is a user defined variable that will be incremented IncrementVariable is an optional variable or expression or constant that will be added to the first variable.

Example1

Device = 24FJ64GA002             ' Select the device to compile for
Declare Xtal = 16
Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600       ' USART1 Baud rate
Declare Hrsout1_Pin = PORTB.14    ' Select the pin for TX with USART1

Dim MyDword as Dword = 1

RPOR7 = 3                       ' Make PPS Pin RP14 U1TX

Repeat
  HrsoutLn Dec MyDword
  DelayMs 200
  Inc MyDword
Until MyDword > 10000

The above example shows the equivalent to the For-Next loop: -

For MyDword = 1 to 10000 : Next

However, the Repeat-Until version, although it looks more complex, is much more efficient in both code size and speed of operation.

Example 2

Device = 24FJ64GA002             ' Select the device to compile for
Declare Xtal = 16
Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600       ' USART1 Baud rate
Declare Hrsout1_Pin = PORTB.14    ' Select the pin for TX with USART1

Dim MyDword as Dword = 1

Repeat                            ' Create a loop
  HRsoutLn Dec MyDword            ' Transmit the ASCII value to a serial terminal
  DelayMs 200                    ' A delay so the value can be seen changing
  Inc MyDword, 10                ' Increment the variable MyDword by 10
Until MyDword > 1000              ' Loop until the variable reaches 1000 or over
