The main() function is the function that is run when the PIC starts. Normally, in the main() is a while(TRUE) statement. TRUE is #defined as 1 previously in the code somewhere. So.... The while(TRUE) statement will repeat over and over.

Code:

main() {

startup stuff

   while(TRUE) {

   repetitive stuff here

   }

}


The input(PIN_B0) statement reads the B0 pin. So..... while(!input(PIN_B0)) will repeat while PIN_B0 is low or 0 or FALSE... any way you want to describe it.


Good luck,
