Inc

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 = 18F25K20
                                ' Select the device to use
Declare Xtal = 16
                             ' Tell the compiler the device is operating at 16MHz
Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600
                                ' Set the Baud rate for the HRsoutLn command
Dim MyByte as Byte = 1
                                ' Create a variable and give it an initial value
Repeat
                                ' Create a loop
  HRsoutLn Dec MyByte
                                ' Transmit the ASCII value to a serial terminal
  DelayMs 200
                                ' A delay so the value can be seen changing
  Inc MyByte
                                ' Increment the variable MyByte by 1
Until MyByte > 10
                                ' Loop until the variable reaches 10 or over

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

For MyByte = 1 to 10 : Next

Example 2

Device = 18F25K20
                                ' Select the device to use
Declare Xtal = 16
                                ' Set its frequency
Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600
                                ' Set the Baud rate for the HRsoutLn command
Dim MyWord as Word = 1
                                ' Create a variable and give it an initial value
Repeat
                                ' Create a loop
  HRsoutLn Dec MyWord
                                ' Transmit the ASCII value to a serial terminal
  DelayMs 200
                                ' A delay so the value can be seen changing
  Inc MyWord, 10
                                ' Increment the variable MyWord by 10
Until MyWord > 100
                                ' Loop until the variable reaches 100 or over
