Unable to retrieve values from an int function

Does anyone have any idea on how to grab the variable value from another function to the function in which you’re pushing data to Blynk ?

I am trying to push the value of variable a that is present in int readcolor () function and void reoLoop() function

#define BLYNK_PRINT SwSerial
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial SwSerial(10, 11); // RX, TX   
#include <BlynkSimpleStream.h>
#include <SimpleTimer.h>
// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
 char auth[] = "ffde7e4bea3c47f0a1bc96a9a9e4e91a";
SimpleTimer timer;

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <Servo.h>

  Blynk.begin(Serial, auth);


  // Setup a function to be called every second

}

I don’t understand your question. Can you explain more, and which variable you’re referring to?

Pete.

A Count is being created every time the sensor detects a color, so if the sensor picks up red I’ve stored the count in variable a in the code. But when I use the Blynk.virtualWrite(V2, a) it does not show on Blynk, it’s just a blank value display widget.
