    lol right...im just asking about who knows about c programing on hardware...its not like i didnt write my own programme out...i just need help on it since my lecturer is not helping cause he isnt alowed too its procedure..he says by all means seek help outside its part of research...so not to wory about #9 i mean this is considered reserach i haf been looking at google and found nothing...this is the best place i find for soemone to help me understand c programme more.... im not breaking rules am i.I wouldnt seek for more knowledge of c if my lecturer is good enough to help me...we haf to find out how to do it without his guide he deals only with the hardware....but i find c very compicated i hope u ppl understand.

    I Only got as few questions to ask...thats all...i do not expect ppl doing it for me...so dont get me wrong

    So ask your questions here then.
    STL Util a small headers-only library with various utility functions. Mainly for fun but feedback is welcome.

    I only got that

    for (i=0;i<16;i++);

    and plus i need to asign the bits 00 to atract the appropriate 4 bits...its for the keypad... i know the bits i just need to know how to asign it?do i need to make arrays?i know i need a look up table for this... how do i atach it in the programme?and in a programme how many arays can u have??i have one aray already for the 7segment display..and i haf to make that display shift..i haf programmed in assmbler...and now i need to do it in c

    Your lecturer should provide with at least some information to get you started.

    When I did microprocessing most of the programs I started with involved using *assembly* language, perhaps that is where you should start.

    Microprocessing, looks scary to begin with, all those codes in binary or hex and masking of bits, nibbles, etc, but it's actually pretty straight forward.

    The information you need to send to your output devices (port A/B) should be computer dependant. You need to obtain the output addresses from your lecturer.

    So in short- ask your lecturer
