huldu Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I was sitting here wondering, how do you compare multiple numbers with each others to see which is the biggest? The idea is fairly simple, like: If $a > $b Then. But how does it look when you have multiple numbers?. For example... $a = 10 $b = 4 $c = 65 $d = 43 $e = 19 Years ago we went thru this in school, but cant remember how it was done! I just remember the code was "fairly" simple when done right . I just cant do it right, thats the problem First i would guess $a would be compared to existing numbers, $b->$e to see if its bigger then those... but just cant figure it out. Was hoping someone knew how it was done "I'm paper, rock is fine, nerf scissors!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted April 29, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) I made a udf to do this:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...ndpost&p=151083Here is an example:$a = 10 $b = 4 $c = 65 $d = 43 $e = 19 $avArray = StringSplit($a & ',' & $b & ',' & $c & ',' & $d & ',' & $e, ',') ArraySortNum($avArray) MsgBox(0, 'Example', 'Largest Number There Was: ' & $avArray[1] & @CR & 'Smallest Number There Was: ' & $avArray[5]) Func ArraySortNum(ByRef $nArray, $Ascending = 0, $Start = 1) For $i = $Start To UBound($nArray) - 2 Local $SE = $i If $Ascending = 0 Then For $x = $i To UBound($nArray) - 1 If Number($nArray[$SE]) < Number($nArray[$x]) Then $SE = $x Next Else For $x = $i To UBound($nArray) - 1 If Number($nArray[$SE]) > Number($nArray[$x]) Then $SE = $x Next EndIf Local $HLD = $nArray[$i] $nArray[$i] = $nArray[$SE] $nArray[$SE] = $HLD Next EndFunc Edited April 29, 2006 by SmOke_N Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazerM Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) i just wrote something quickly (you beat me to it smoke) Also remember that the For..Next statement($j) only goes up to 100 and won't work with larger numbers MsgBox(0, @error, _Biggest("10,4,65,43,19")) Func _Biggest($s_num) Dim $biggest[2] $biggest[0] = 0 $i_num = StringSplit($s_num, ",") For $i = 1 To $i_num[0] For $j = 1 To 100 If $i_num[$i] > $j And $j > $biggest[0] Then $biggest[0] = $j $biggest[1] = $i_num[$i] EndIf Next Next Return $biggest[1] EndFunc Edited April 29, 2006 by RazerM My Programs:AInstall - Create a standalone installer for your programUnit Converter - Converts Length, Area, Volume, Weight, Temperature and Pressure to different unitsBinary Clock - Hours, minutes and seconds have 10 columns each to display timeAutoIt Editor - Code Editor with Syntax Highlighting.Laserix Editor & Player - Create, Edit and Play Laserix LevelsLyric Syncer - Create and use Synchronised Lyrics.Connect 4 - 2 Player Connect 4 Game (Local or Online!, Formatted Chat!!)MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, Tiger and Whirlpool Hash Finder - Dictionary and Brute Force FindCool Text Client - Create Rendered ImageMy UDF's:GUI Enhance - Enhance your GUIs visually.IDEA File Encryption - Encrypt and decrypt files easily!

huldu Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) The code smoke had was wonderful, just what i was looking for, thanks! I ran into a new problem however Im using Random to generate the numbers atm and i noticed that sometimes same number poped up. Is there a way to stop same numbers from appearing?. I kinda thought it started to get quite complicated atm, sorry about it. I made this but cant get it to work properly atm expandcollapse popupWhile $loop = 0 $a = Random(1,35,1) $b = Random(1,35,1) $c = Random(1,35,1) $d = Random(1,35,1) $e = Random(1,35,1) If $a = $b or $c or $d or $e Then ToolTip("Error: " & $a & " : " & $b & " : " & $c & " : " & $d & " : " & $e, 0,0) Sleep(200) $loop = 0 EndIf If $b = $a or $c or $d or $e Then ToolTip("Error: " & $a & " : " & $b & " : " & $c & " : " & $d & " : " & $e, 0,0) Sleep(200) $loop = 0 EndIf If $c = $a or $b or $d or $e Then ToolTip("Error: " & $a & " : " & $b & " : " & $c & " : " & $d & " : " & $e, 0,0) Sleep(200) $loop = 0 EndIf If $d = $a or $b or $c or $e Then ToolTip("Error: " & $a & " : " & $b & " : " & $c & " : " & $d & " : " & $e, 0,0) Sleep(200) $loop = 0 EndIf If $e = $a or $b or $c or $d Then ToolTip("Error: " & $a & " : " & $b & " : " & $c & " : " & $d & " : " & $e, 0,0) Sleep(200) $loop = 0 ElseIf $loop = 1 EndIf WEnd I added the tooltip and sleep, just to see if the numbers really appeared more then once. The problem is most of the time they dont, and the script wont continue thru the loop. Edited April 29, 2006 by huldu "I'm paper, rock is fine, nerf scissors!!!"

CyberSlug Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 This is wrong If $a = $b or $c or $d or $e Then You must say If $a = $b Or $$a = $c or $a = $d or $a = $e $a = Random(1, 35, 1) Do $b = Random(1, 35, 1) Until $b <> $a Do $c = Random(1, 35, 1) Until $c <> $a And $c <> $b Do $d = Random(1, 35, 1) Until $d <> $c And $d <> $b And $d <> $a MsgBox(0,"Numbers", $a & "," & $b & ", " & $c & ", " & $d) It would be a lot easier to use arrays instead of separate variables.... ; Initialize array of integers 1 to 35 Dim $numberSet[35] For $i = 0 To 34 $numberSet[$i] = $i + 1 Next ; Read elements randomly and put into new array ; Each time we decrease the index range... Dim $resultSet[35] For $i = 34 to 0 step -1 $randIndex = Random(0, $i, 1) $resultSet[$i] = $numberSet[$randIndex] ; replace used number with highest unsed one $numberSet[$randIndex] = $numberSet[$i] Next ; $resultSet and Output will contain all numbers 1 to 35 in random order (each occurs once) $output = "" For $i = 0 to 34 $output = $output & $resultSet[$i] & ", " Next $output = StringTrimRight($output, 2) MsgBox(4096,"", $output) Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!
