[Doubt] While + Call Function

[memerim]

HotkeySet("F2", "Example")

While 1

    $a = 1
    $b = 2
    $c = 3
    $d = 4
    $d = 5
    $e = 6   
    
Wend

Func Example()

    $x = 0
    
EndFunc

Suppose i press F2 while the loop are in line:

$c = 3

My doubt is, when the func ends the script returns to the begin of the loop ($a =1) or the line it was when i  pressed F2 ($c = 3)?

1) the HotKeySet() help page is quite clear at this point.

2) while you're at it - what do you think should happen?

3) and what do you think should happen in a more complex scenario - like calling the hotkey inside a function? or inside a nested loop?

4) and why won't you check it yourself? run this and try. i won't provide any spoilers :-)

HotKeySet("{F2}", "Example")
Global $a
Global $bReport = False
Do
    $a = 1
    If $bReport Then ConsoleWrite('$a=' & $a & @CRLF)
    $a = 2
    If $bReport Then ConsoleWrite('$a=' & $a & @CRLF)
    $a = 3
    If $bReport Then ConsoleWrite('$a=' & $a & @CRLF)
    $a = 4
    If $bReport Then ConsoleWrite('$a=' & $a & @CRLF)
    $a = 5
    If $bReport Then ConsoleWrite('$a=' & $a & @CRLF)
    $a = 6
    If $bReport Then ConsoleWrite('$a=' & $a & @CRLF)
Until $bReport

Func Example()
    ConsoleWrite('hello, you pressed F2.' & @CRLF)
    $bReport = True
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Answer: Return to line $c = 3.

Is possible make it return to begin of while?

[orbs]

yes, it is possible, but before you do, you might want to review your logic.

if you want to do that anyways, then in the loop pick some key checkpoints to allow a safe ContinueLoop, and change the condition of the $bReport check to ContinueLoop instead of ConsoleWrite(). also change the loop condition to disregard $bReport, and instead, in the first line of the block of code inside the loop, you must re-initialize $bReport back to False.

also, naturally, rename $bReport to $bContinueLoop or such.

Are you trying to create your own random number generator?  you could just use random function
