Hello,

I have a problem with below code.
Please advise how to solve it.
Thanks in advance!

Code:

void locate(const char cursor_x, const char cursor_y) {
   char stream[4] = {0x1b, 0x4c, cursor_x, cursor_y};
}

There are several issues:

First you cannot use 'const' as a variable declarator in a function.
const in CCS C, means a value stored in ROM. The value can be passed to
a function, but it is not then a 'const'.
This is different from the ANSI use of 'const', where it means a variable
in RAM, which is protected from being changed.
So get rid of the const declarations.

Then the big issue is that the assignment of 'stream', is done at compile
time. At compile time, neither cursor_x or cursor_y have values.
To assign values passed to the function, these have to be done at run-time:

Code:

void locate(char cursor_x, char cursor_y) {
   char stream[4]={0x1b, 0x4c, 0,0};
   stream[2]=cursor_x; //runtime assignment of variable
   stream[3]=cursor_y;
}
