Thread: Send counter output to LCD

Hello, I’m new to C, and I have written the following code, I didn’t include the forward declarations, or the functions as they are not in question. I’m trying to send a counter (every 1 sec) to a LCD.
The code I wrote will send “this is line 2” to the LCD. If I could put a variable in place of ‘this is line 2’, that would solve the problem, but I guess that’s not possible. I can’t think up a way to send the counter to the LCD. I’m working in C code. Any thoughts?

code:

Code:

for(int c = 0; c <=10000;  c++)                                                   //This is any counter
{
Pause(1);
}                                                                                 //end counter
 
          /* I want to send the output of the counter (or any A/D output) to the LCD*/
 
line2();                                                               //Sends to LCD line 2
char a[25] = " this is line 2 ";                                       // Initialize the array
for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++)                                            // Count i from 0 to 20
{ 
pause(2);                                                              //wait 2mS
data();                                                                           //tell LCD data follows
set_outputs (0,7, (a[i]));                                         //Send (output) LINE 2 to data bus pins 0-7 (8bit)
pause(TW);                                                                        //wait about 1 mS
