I had to comment out the last line "End Cfunction"
The program runs but at first I get an error "BME280 not found"  at line 98.
The program continues to run after this with correct Temperature and Pressure values but Humidity is 0.
The value of i% in line 98 is 88.

It is just a typo. Delete just the "C" from CFunction.
Function q(x as integer) as integer 'returns 2 raised to the power
  q=(1<<x)
End Function
