About your specific bug you should<\/p>\n

\n

‘dht’ does not name a type<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That means you have the word dht<\/code> that is not at a place where the compiler could understand what you mean.<\/p>\n

\n

how do i change it to a type?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You do not want to change it into a type, you want to solve the compiling issue you’re getting.<\/p>\n

\n

what does a type mean?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You should read the K&R<\/a> on the subject<\/a>. A type is a rule that constraints you into making code that is coherent.<\/p>\n

You should copy in your question the full error you’re getting, for us to better help you.<\/p>\n

Let’s assume the error is on the following line:<\/p>\n

#include <dht.h>\ndht DHT;  \n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The compiler does not know what is the dht<\/code>, as it has never seen that being defined before. I assume, dht.h<\/code> shall be a header to be included that needs should contain dht<\/code> type definition. You should look if you have dht.h<\/code> in your filesystem, and push it in your sketch’s directory. And finally change the #include <dht.h><\/code> into #include \"dht.h\"<\/code>, so it looks up the dht.h<\/code> in your local directory.<\/p>\n
EDIT: I’m sorry I don’t think I can’t help you here more than what I just said. The problem is that you don’t understand what I’m telling you to solve your problem, and explaining it to you would be giving you a C programming lesson. So you should first begin to read the K&R<\/a>, go to some C\/C++\/Arduino programing courses (maybe in your local hackerspace?), and\/or ask your friend to help you out and explaining to you what is happening<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
