Simple False/True Math Test. Can't get it to work


Recommended Posts

Ok I was writing a script where variables change value and I need to find out which one is the smaller value but greater than 0.

I've tried out some codes in different ways but none work ): I don't know what I'm doing wrong since it's very simple math test.

Well I'm posting the diferent codes I wrote, hope to get some head ups...

BTW I'm new to Autoit, scripting and things.

                                                                                    

                                                                                           Test 1

;simple mathematics test to see which number is smaller but greater then zero


;whichever number is the smallest but greater than zero becomes true at the end
$seven = False
$ten = False
$fifteen = False

;in this test $7 and $15 cannot be true unless we change the value
Global $7 = 0,$10 = 10,$15 = 15
;
;
;
;test 1
If $7 > 0 And $7 < $10 And $7 < $15 Then $seven = True

If $10 > 0 and $10 < $7 and $10 < $15 Then $ten = True

If $15 > 0 And $15 < $7 And $15 < $10 Then $fifteen = True

Well that's all I got I've finally finished copying..... I know I'm provably doing so much lines for a simple thing but again I'm a noob.

Mannyfresh15,

I would use an array like this:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Global $aValues[20]

$aValues[7] = 0
$aValues[10] = 10
$aValues[15] = 15

Local $iResult = 9999, $iIndex

For $i = 0 To UBound($aValues) - 1
    $iValue = Number($aValues[$i])
    If $iValue > 0 And $iValue < $iResult Then
        $iResult = $iValue
        $iIndex = $i
    EndIf
Next

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Lowest value", $iIndex & @CRLF & $iResult)

I think the code is self-explanatory. but please ask if you have any questions.

I'll just deal with test1, the rest being left as "an exercise to the reader".

There, you test whether $7 is greater than 0, which it is not ($7 = 0 and 0 0) so the whole condition is false and the first msgbox never shows.
Then you test whether $10 < $7, which boils down to ask if 10 < 0, an obvious NO, so again the condition is false and nothing shows.
Same for the third test, asking whether $15 < $7 (i.e. 15 < 0) and same as above.

If you want to determine the smallest positive value from a bunch of variables, just do like Melba posted, use an array.

M23, thanks for your example. However, it's quite confusing for a noob like me though. On the other hand I'm looking for something a lil more simple IDK if there is. You see in my test I just to identify the lowest value out of three different variables but exclude the one containing 0 is there is one.

Mannyfresh15,

if you only ever have 3 variables then you can simplify the code a bit:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Create an array with 3 elements
Global $aValues[3]
$aValues[0] = 0     ; Set these elements to your 3 values
$aValues[1] = 10
$aValues[2] = 15

; These are the placeholders for the value and its index within the array
; We set a ridiculously high value for the max value to start
Local $iResult = 9999, $iIndex

; Loop through the array and check each value
For $i = 0 To 2
    ;This is the value we are checking
    $iValue = Number($aValues[$i])
    ; if it is greater then zero and less that the current max
    If $iValue > 0 And $iValue < $iResult Then
        ; Store the value and its index
        $iResult = $iValue
        $iIndex = $i
    EndIf
Next

; Display the lowest value that is greater then zero
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Lowest value", $iIndex & @CRLF & $iResult)

Clearer now?

Then I just gonna do something different

Yes! It's a lot clearer now, thank you so much!

Mannyfresh15,

Delighted to hear it.

But when you reply, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - we know what we wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily.
