Printing variables to serial LCD

I try to print the value of a variable using
slcd.print ©;
but it only displays the character associated with whatever the value of “c” is.
What am I missing?
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,you might try this code:

[code]
#include <SerialLCD.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h> //this is a must

// initialize the library
SerialLCD slcd(11,12);//this is a must, assign soft serial pins
float c=0;

void setup()
{
slcd.begin();
}

void loop() {
unsigned long c;
for(c=0;c<6;c++)
{
slcd.setCursor(0, 0);
slcd.print(c,DEC);
delay(500);
}
}[/code]
