Is there anything I can help you with?

I want my statement to run in a continuous loop until I activate my momentary button switch.
I have a switch that changes lighting modes but stops after the statement is finished.

//Theatre-style crawling lights.
void theaterChase(uint32_t c, uint8_t wait) {
  for (int j=0; j<10; j++) {  //do 10 cycles of chasing
    for (int q=0; q < 3; q++) {
      for (int i=0; i < strip.numPixels(); i=i+3) {
        strip.setPixelColor(i+q, c);    //turn every third pixel on
      }
      strip.show();

      delay(wait);

      for (int i=0; i < strip.numPixels(); i=i+3) {
        strip.setPixelColor(i+q, 0);        //turn every third pixel off
      }
    }
  }
}

So instead of the j<10; I am not sure what to change to get my constant loop. Is there an infinite symbol that I can use in my for statement?

(If you need the rest of the code, I can post it. I wanted to try and not bog down your thread.)

Need the rest of the code please.

I will be adding/hacking some additional modes into this, but I am confident that when I get this sorted, I will have it under control. The additiona code is proven, in other projects. This code is also proven but stops when the statement is run and I want  continuous lighting.

What's the difference between PayPal and Venmo? And while we're on the subject, since Venmo is a subsidiary of PayPal, do I need to create a separate Venmo account to transfer funds via Venmo, or can I just use my PayPal account? 

Thank you for your time.

The correct answer is to ignore venmo and tell anyone that uses that instead of paypal to go fuck themselves.

Hi 'the juggler' I'm from Melbourne Australian which they are touring soon. I don't want to go into it to much idetail but here goes.....in 1994 I had front row tickets to see pearl jam, I was only 14 so it was my first concert & was so excited! The week before I had a boating accident in which I lost my thumb and use of my arm for a long time. Somehow on found out about it & sent me a signed poster wish me well. Anytime I was down or felt like giving up I looked at the poster & instantly it put a smile on my face. I am now 33 & have made a full recovery (minus a thumb). I would really love to speak/see anything to them to thank them because something as small as a signed poster changed my life! I'm not a weirdo obsessed fan & can email photos to prove the poster & my missing didget haha. Any help you could give me to try to ccontact them would be much appreciated. Thanks, Pete. My email address is Chevy10.pr@gmail.com

what is the condition of the thumb at this point?

Pete, 

I had someone from our team (Melody) email you about your thumb 5 years ago. Never heard back. The statue of liberty on this issue has expired. If you are still experiencing problems please submit a new post to be reviewed. 

Have a a nice weekend. 

Thank you.
