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
