How to increase the value of a certain constant by a constant amount during each iteration

Hello everyone! 

I need to increase the value of the "Temperature" indicator by 5 units for 1 iteration of the cycle, that is, for each step the temperature should increase by 5 degrees. How can it be done? Any form of response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you)

The function on the left is a Feedback Node:

It will start out pointing to the left. Right click and select "Change Direction" to make it point to the right.

The second item is a numeric indicator. It shows I32 to tell you it's a long (32 bit) integer.

Blue wires are integers so you should use an integer indicator. Otherwise you will see a little red dot that

means the software has to convert the number. Try to avoid red dots.

You can change the data type of an indicator by right-clicking and selecting Representation.
