When you follow the instructions, your code will retain its formatting, like this:

void delay()
{
   int x=20000;
   do
   {
      x=x-1;
   } while(x>1);
}

thanks for all your help !!


Best regards

delay routines should never be written in C they may cange when the compiler is revised.

delay routines should never be written in C

Or, to elaborate, delay routines that rely on a processor busy-loop and require precision based on counting instruction cycles are at some degree of risk.

Feel free to write delay routines that read a hardware timer in C.
