error "A numeric expression must appear here"

[mle]

hello,
I'm having problems trying to do some simple arithmetic. I have the following piece of code that is giving me errors:

void write1wire(int byte){
int i; //counter
int bit; //holds value of last bit in byte

bit=byte\%2; //********ERROR HERE*********//
For (i=1; i<=8; i++){
if (bit == 1){
output_low(DQout);
delay_us(1);
output_high(DQout);
delay_us(60);
}
else {
output_low(DQout);
delay_uS(60);
output_high(DQout);
}
byte = byte/2; //********ERROR HERE*********//
}
}

I get an error saying "A numeric expression must appear here" at the both errors. Does anyone know why this is?

Thank you,
mle

"byte" is a defined keyword for CCS. You shouldn't use it.

Look in the 16F877.h file (or any other header file)
and you'll see it defined as an alias for "int".
