 Using the 7-Segment Displays

Include the file avr.h in order to access the following functions:

init_7seg(void)
To intialise the interface
EEM4016

dis_7seg(unsigned char address, unsigned char data)

To display a single digit

dis_7seg_num(unsigned char address, int num)

To display three digit number
