How to make an animation slow down?

[Stevan Petrov]

I wrote a code based on increasing number to some number...and after reaching it,it displays some text...but whatever number I put(50 or 50000000) it changes during the same time!
But should it be as bigger number is ,time will be longer,right?

try using long ints (usually 32 bits numbers) and/or a loop within a loop.
If the loop does nothing the compiler may optimise it out completly - on microctrollers there is usually a Nop (No operation) instruction to prevent this, e.g.

          for(ii=0;ii<1000000L;ii++); Nop();

e.g. code to blink a LED 10 times

    for(j=0;j<10;j++)
        {
        for(ii=0;ii<200000L;ii++) Nop(); // delay
        PORTAbits.RA4=!PORTAbits.RA4;    // invert LED
        }

if it still does not work post the code
