Burn token ! How to do that My developer left me in between, i need help on smart contract

We are developing a project and my developer got hidden his head from our radar after his payments.

He wrote the below code and created a smart contract in Binance smart chain, now can anyone
help me with how to do the burn process with the below code?

This is the code

How to do the burn process?

Hi @Sabarinathan_Subrama! From what I see there's a burn function in your contract, just call it whenever you need to burn your tokens.
If this doesn't answer your question I didn't fully understand what you're asking.

Hey @Allennick Brother, Thanks for your reply! I hope you are doing good and safe!

First of all, I am not a tech person to run the functions or whatever you are telling me! , Can you just help me with that code, for example, it has a 5Q supply and I want to burn 100B then how to do that? what are the changes I need to do and where do I have to update the value and how to run it.it will be really helpful for us in case you provide that.

You need to call your burn function, enter the address you want to burn the token from, enter the amount.
If you don't know how to do that hit me up on telegram @blackluv10

Thanks a Lot, Brother! That was a quick show!!!
