Re: counting in C...

Define Array of Char as long as you want then make a function that increament in array
 

Re: counting in C...

declare it as
unsigned long ms_100_count;

so u can count upto 0xFFFFFFFF
 

Re: counting in C...

If you want still bigger declare it as long long type, which is i think 8 bytes long
