Help with storing an incremental value in array

[Terenz]

Hello guys.

 

It's a little difficult for me to explay what i need to do, if someone don't understand tell me.

I need to store an incremental variable in an array and the compare with a string. This is a scheme:

$N_NUMBER = 4
$N_TOTAL = 5

$VALUE1 = $N_NUMBER
$VALUE2 = ($N_NUMBER * 2) + 1
$VALUE3 = ($N_NUMBER * 3) + 2
$VALUE4 = ($N_NUMBER * 4) + 3
; $VALUE number = $N_TOTAL - 1

$EXAMPLE = 9 ; example number

If $EXAMPLE = $VALUE1 Or $EXAMPLE = $VALUE2 Or $EXAMPLE = $VALUE3 Or $EXAMPLE = $VALUE4 Or $EXAMPLE = $VALUE5 Then
    ConsoleWrite("Success")
EndIf

I don't know $N_TOTAL variable, can be 5 or 10

$VALUE so must to be an array,the size is base by $N_TOTAL - 1 but the number is incremental and multiplied, i don't know who to store it. At the end i need to compare the string $EXAMPLE with the array $VALUE, without do all that OR

Some help? Thanks

I have do it in this way:

$N_NUMBER = 4
$N_TOTAL = 5
Local $TEST[$N_TOTAL - 1]

;~ $VALUE1 = $N_NUMBER ; 4
;~ $VALUE2 = ($N_NUMBER * 2) + 1 ;9
;~ $VALUE3 = ($N_NUMBER * 3) + 2 ;14
;~ $VALUE4 = ($N_NUMBER * 4) + 3 ;19
; $VALUE number = $N_TOTAL - 1

$TEST[0] = $N_NUMBER
For $x = 1 To $N_TOTAL - 2
    Local $j
    $j += 1
    $TEST[$x] = $N_NUMBER * ($x + 1) + $j
Next

;~ MsgBox(0, 0, $TEST[0])
;~ MsgBox(0, 0, $TEST[1])
;~ MsgBox(0, 0, $TEST[2])
;~ MsgBox(0, 0, $TEST[3])

$EXAMPLE = 9 ; example number

For $x = 0 To UBound($TEST)
    If $EXAMPLE = $TEST[$x] Then
        MsgBox(0, 0, "Success")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

Is correct or there is a better way?

Hi,

I did not look the entire code but I advice you to put the Local declaration out of the array otherwise your variable will be redeclared at each iteration.

Br, FireFox.

Hi, do you mean the Local $j ?

EDIT: I don't need $j, $x do the same

Yes.

#include <Array.au3>
$N_NUMBER = 4
$N_TOTAL = 4
Local $TEST[$N_TOTAL]

For $i = 0 To UBound($TEST)-1
    $TEST[$i] = $N_NUMBER * ($i+1) + $i
Next

$bFound = False
For $i = 0 To UBound($TEST)-1
    If $TEST[$i] = 9 Then
        $bFound = True
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next
If $bFound Then MsgBox(1,1,"success on dim=[" & $i & "]")
