I need general help

[lsakizada]

I need to create a function that do infinite loop and the output is 4,5,4,5,4,5

What function to replace the ? Sign in order to accomplish it?

Func ()

$x=4

While(true)

$x=?

Debugoutput(x & ',')

Wend

Endfunc

Example:

If x=4 then the output should be;

4,5,4,5,4,5,

lsakizada,

I would do it using Mod like this:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit")

$i = 1

While 1
    ; Toggle $i between 0 and 1
    $i = Mod($i + 1, 2)
    ; Add 4
    ConsoleWrite(4 + $i & @CRLF)
    ; Just to see the result
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func On_Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Hi melba32, nice to get response from you

Thanks for correcting the syntax, i am on iphone.

It is almost ok, i must need to replace the '?' Sign with a proper function in order to print the desired output. Btw, it is a question that i have being asked today in my job interview.

lsakizada,

Then perhaps this:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit")

$i = 4

While 1
    ; Toggle $i between 4 and 5
    $i = 4 + Mod(($i - 4) + 1, 2)
    ConsoleWrite($i & ",")
    ; Just to see the result
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func On_Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Good luck with the interview.

Hi melba, this solution works but not for ANY $i variable, Which mean the digit 4 should not be used in the function.

Yep, I am still need to supply the complete solution in order to put bread on my table.

Isakizada,

Maybe somethiing as simple as this

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit")

$i = 6

While 1
    ConsoleWrite($i & ',' & $i+1 & ',')
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func On_Exit()
    ConsoleWrite(@LF)
    Exit
EndFunc

Good Luck with the $$$$$

lsakizada,

How about you tell me ALL the constraints on the solution before I produce any more new code - I really dislike having the goalposts moved after every solution I post.

For example, are we limited to just one line or can I call a function?

Kylomas, it must be with same format as described in the first post on this thread.

[lsakizada]

Melba,

Well, as I just told to kylomas, the interviewer asked to replace only the '?' Sign with proper function. Beside of that, that's should works for any number that assigned to the first variable before entering the infinity loop. Yours solution is Ok, but I am not sure if it will works if we will replace the digit 4 with the variable $i. I can not test it since i am on my iphone.

Thanks for the help!

Is the interviewer asking for an AutoIT specific solution?

If so, "func ()" is not valid AutoIT syntax.

[Melba23]

lsakizada,

If we can use a function the solution is very simple:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit")

$i = 4

While 1
    ; Toggle $i between 4 and 5
    $i = _Func($i)
    ConsoleWrite($i & ",")
    ; Just to see the result
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func _Func($iVar)
    ; Set a static variable to store the first value of the variable received by the function
    Static $iBase = 0
    If $iBase = 0 Then $iBase = $iVar
    ; And run the one-liner we had before
    Return $iBase + Mod(($iVar - $iBase) + 1, 2)
EndFunc

Func On_Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

How about that?

Test()
Func Test()

    $x = 8
    While (True)
        $x = $x + Cos($x * 3.14159265358979)
        ConsoleWrite($x & ',')
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Test

Tossed the sleep in there just to not kill the CPU
