Hello, I wrote you because I will wish to write a function to my program but I do not know how. For example if I want to do sommen 2 numbers a and b , but using a function. do you know how to proceed ? Thank you for your answers

yes I have also followed a tutorial , but apparently the way to do that with mbed is different from that C

It is not, it is identical. Mbed = C++. Which supports all normal C functions also. (If you name a file .c it will be really compiled as C, but then you cannot use mbed library functions).

Perhaps you can post a short example of what you have tried so that those offering help can offer alterations.

Well now I'll Explain . I am writing in June " fonction_dwell " function that mite afford to Calculate stay according to an alpha ratio ( stuff pour saver lines of code ) and Make a function call in my main function. Here's how I wrote my fonction_dwell .

#include "mbed.h"
#include "TextLCD.h"

InterruptIn in(p10);
Timer t;
Timer t_on;
Timer t_off;
TextLCD lcd(p15, p16, p17, p18, p19, p20); // rs, e, d4-d7

// la fonction qui va retourner le dwell

int fonction_dwell(alpha);
{
    int d;
    d=alpha*100;
    return d;
    }
int main()
{
    float alpha;
    int calcul;
    int dwell;
    if (in==1) {  // <--- the input that you have created not the pin number.
    t_on.start();
    t_off.stop();
  } else {
    t_on.stop();
    t_off.start();
    alpha=t_on/(t_on+t_off);
    calcul=fonction_dwell(alpha);
  }  
    
     while (1) {
       
        lcd.printf("\n %d dwell\r\n",dwell);    
}
    
    }

but it does not work

Realise that you are printf 'dwell' variable (may you want to show 'calcul' variable?). However:

1 - Needless ';' of the function: int fonction_dwell(alpha)

2 - You need to specify the type of variable you pass into the function (int fonction_dwell(float alpha))

code changes

#include "mbed.h"
#include "TextLCD.h"
 
InterruptIn in(p10);
Timer t;
Timer t_on;
Timer t_off;
TextLCD lcd(p15, p16, p17, p18, p19, p20); // rs, e, d4-d7
 
// la fonction qui va retourner le dwell
 
int fonction_dwell(float alpha)
{
    int d;
    d=alpha*100;
    return d;
    }
int main()
{
    float alpha;
    int calcul;
    int dwell;
    if (in==1) {  // <--- the input that you have created not the pin number.
    t_on.start();
    t_off.stop();
  } else {
    t_on.stop();
    t_off.start();
    alpha=t_on/(t_on+t_off);
    calcul=fonction_dwell(alpha);
  }  
    
     while (1) {
       
        lcd.printf("\n %d calcul\r\n",calcul);    
}
    
    }

You're right Completely .The power walking . I'll be able to create other functions and move forward. I wanted to ask you , how can I make the call to the function that I just created in my main program?

I wanted to ask you know how to make a function call ? This est'à'dire I want utilser a function that already ja create and put it in another program.

read the c++ tutorial, this is the easy way http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
if you really need to write a C function within a C++ main program as Mbed, you may use google "call c function within c++" or look at the Mbed source code, because most of the code is C
