Simple Timer compilation errors

sir i have the following code but it shows multiple errors

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

SimpleTimer timer;

void myTimerEvent()
{
  // You can send any value at any time.
  // Please don't send more that 10 values per second.
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, millis() / 1000);
  
}

void setup()
{
  // Debug console
  Serial.begin(9600);

  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);

    timer.setInterval(1000L,sensorvalue1);

  timer.run(); // Initiates BlynkTimer
   }

  {

    myString = myString+ rdata;

  }

}

}


String getValue(String data, char separator, int index)
{
    int found = 0;
    int strIndex[] = { 0, -1 };
    int maxIndex = data.length() - 1;

    for (int i = 0; i <= maxIndex && found <= index; i++) {
        if (data.charAt(i) == separator || i == maxIndex) {
            found++;
            strIndex[0] = strIndex[1] + 1;
            strIndex[1] = (i == maxIndex) ? i+1 : i;
        }
    }
    return found > index ? data.substring(strIndex[0], strIndex[1]) : "";
}

these are the errors sir

okay buddy,
first you should read this

second you should use blynk timer instead of simple timer

@Najaf_Akbar I’ve moved your post into a new topic, as it is unconnected to the topic that you posted in.

Pete.
