Changing Func Name? Goto? Recursive?

[JuniorCoder]

Two questions;

This is a noob question but I'm learning and therefore not embarrassed to ask so is there any way to declare the name of a Function on the draw?  For instance if I wanted to change a variable from 1 to 2 every time a func is called and use the variable as the new func name?

Func _Change_Func_Name()
    
if $var=1 then
$var+=1
Else
$var-=1
EndIf
$New_Func_Name=_Search_Bar&$frac&()

EndFunc



Func $New_Func_Name()


Endfunc

Obviously this wont work I used it as a example of what I wanted to do but is there anything I can do similar to the affect.

 

 

And noob question two, if I call a func within a previously running func before the previously running func has ended it calls a recursive func is there any way after the new func is called to exit out of the previous recursive func?  In one of my current projects recursive func as goto is necessary and after about 4 hours of running it gets a recursive amount exceeded error.

 

I wish I had a func that could  jump into a new func and then would exit out of the previous running and not yet finished func. Shouldn't there be a Goto func for this?

Your code example is not really explaining more that your description does not.

Please show an example of what your "current project" is doing, to better explain what exactly you are asking.

Ok John

_check_Folders()

Func _check_Folders()
    
While 1

_check()
    
WEnd

EndFunc

Func _check()

if $check="Fail" then
_check_Folders(); just called a new func without exiting old func  used as Goto
EndIf

EndFunc

This is an example of a Recursive Func when _check_Folders() is called before its ended.  Now I know a simple while loop can fix this example but, my project is not as simple being there is like 2k lines of code and a lot of other functions in order and steps needing to take place before the func gets called.  In saying that my current project does need to use recursive functions and my question again is there a func that could jump into a new func and then would exit out of the previous running and not yet finished func? Its called Goto but since it was removed from Autoit, you can only call a function inside a already running function and this can only achieved a certain amount of times depending on your computers memory before Autoit will close from exceeding its recursive limit. So what do you do instead of Goto?

No.

There is no goto, and nothing that emulates it in the manner you describe.

No.

 WOW how sad that means the amount of times you can call functions inside already running functions depends on the amount of memory on the persons pc . So how then can you clear the old running Function after the new function is called?

By returning from it.

What language are you coming from?

Here's an example of how I'd code something similar to what you appear to want.

While 3
    ConsoleWrite("Main loop" & @LF)
    If Func1() Then
        Exit
    EndIf
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func Func1()
    ConsoleWrite("Func1" & @LF)
    While 3
        If Not Func2() Then
            ConsoleWrite("Out" & @LF)
            Return True
        EndIf
        ConsoleWrite("In" & @LF)
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Func1

Func Func2()
    ConsoleWrite("Func2" & @LF)
    Static $var = 0
    If $var > 2 Then
        $var = 0
        Return False
    EndIf
    ConsoleWrite($var & @LF)
    $var += 1
    Return True
EndFunc   ;==>Func2

Its Ok John thank you for your replies, I see by your example you still dont fully understand what I'm talking about here is a few links i just found that other people had the same discussion about.

But I still cant find a definitive solution to my problem.

In one of my current projects recursive functions are necessary and after about 4 hours of running it gets a recursive amount exceeded error.

I'm probably gonna have to try a counter and automatic reboot for the whole .exe if I have to.

I'm sure whatever it is that you're doing can be done without recursion, or at least a minimal amount of recursion. Perhaps if you posted your script, or a good reproducer that shows what it is you're trying to achieve, we can be of some help. I don't think rebooting is going to be the answer if you want a good answer.

JuniorCoder,

This may be of some interest to you...

; recursive

local $str = '123456789'

ConsoleWrite('Recursive method' & @CRLF)

_display_recurse($str)

func _display_recurse($s)
    local static $idx = 1
    ConsoleWrite(stringmid($s,$idx,1) & @CRLF)
    $idx += 1
    if $idx <= stringlen($s) then _display_recurse($s)
endfunc

; non - recursive

ConsoleWrite('Non-recursive method' & @CRLF)

while _display_nonrecurse($str)
wend

func _display_nonrecurse($s)
    local static $idx = 1
    ConsoleWrite(stringmid($s,$idx,1) & @CRLF)
    $idx += 1
    if $idx <= stringlen($s) then return true
endfunc

Coool I haven't tried it yet but with this it looks like I can use it for keeping count of the recursive functions. Thank you
