Routine for handling 7-seg display on CCS

The following function may be useful for those who are starting in the microcontroller's world and wish to implement applications using 7-segment display with the CCS compiler in PIC platform. I've used long time ago:

Code:
void Display7seg ( char value )
   {
   char pin=0 ;
   while ( pin< 8 ) 
       {
       if ( SEGMENTCHARS[value ] & ( FIRST_SEGMENT >> pin) ) 
         output_high ( DISPLAY_PINS[pin] ) ;
       else
         output_low  ( DISPLAY_PINS[pin] ) ;   
       pin++ ;
       }
   }

Code:
// Any other pinout could be used instead
#define DISP7_A       PIN_A7
#define DISP7_B       PIN_A6
#define DISP7_C       PIN_A5
#define DISP7_D       PIN_A4
#define DISP7_E       PIN_B3
#define DISP7_F       PIN_B4
#define DISP7_G       PIN_C6

// just to parametrize
#define FIRST_SEGMENT    0b10000000 

const int DISPLAY_PINS [] = { 
            DISP7_A, 
            DISP7_B, 
            DISP7_C, 
            DISP7_D, 
            DISP7_E, 
            DISP7_F, 
            DISP7_G } ;

const char SEGMENTCHARS [] = { 
            0b00000000, 
            0b01100000, 
            0b11011010, 
            0b11110010, 
            0b01100110, 
            0b10110110, 
            0b00111110, 
            0b11100000, 
            0b11111110, 
            0b11110110 } ;

This function must be called this way:

Code:
Display7seg (number);  // argument is an integer from 0 to 9
