How to switch cases with ( - ) and ( + ) keys presses? - scripting

Question

I am working with AutoHotKey. I know I have tagged C also, I think someone with enough C programming knowledge can also help here.
Code below is working for me.
It will read two keyboard input from user and based on what user pressed it will run code for that case.
1::
Input Key, L1
if Key=1
{
;your code
}
if Key=2
{
;your code
}
2::
Input Key, L1
if Key=1
{
;your code
}
if Key=2
{
;your code
}
I would like to know if I can add a loop or something if user presses + or - key it will go do one case at a time,
for example if user presses + for first time it will do
1 1 if user presses + again it will do
1 2 if user presses - it will do
1 1
and so on.
I am not sure if this is do able or not.
I am new to programming. please help :)

Answer 1

You can use global variables. A global variable can be accessed anywhere in the program, unlike a normal variable which exists only inside the function.
Example:
#NoEnv
#Persistent
SetBatchLines, -1
global myVar = 0
h::
myVar := myVar + 1
execute()
return
g::
myVar := myVar - 1
execute()
return
execute()
{
if(myVar == 1)
{
;do stuff
tooltip, myVar: %myVar%
}
else if (myVar == 2)
{
;do stuff
tooltip, myVar: %myVar%
}
else if (myVar == 3)
{
;do stuff
tooltip, myVar: %myVar%
}
else if (myVar == 4)
{
;do stuff
tooltip, myVar: %myVar%
}
else if (myVar == 5)
{
;do stuff
tooltip, myVar: %myVar%
}
else
{
; nothing
tooltip,
}
return
}
I hope this is what you were asking, i wasn't quite sure from the question.

Answer 2

; Some of this is what's called Pseudo code. (not sure if you're familiar). It gives you needs to be turned into actual code...
; Written for AHK...
CurrentNumber = 1
(plus key)::
CurrentNumber += 1
send %CurrentNumber%
return
(minus key)::
CurrentNumber -= 1
send %CurrentNumber%
return
; Not sure if this is what you were looking for or not.. if you want a loop it will be different.
; either way, good luck to you, i'm out..

+::
keywait, +, u
{
If var =
var = 11
Else
var++
}
Return
-::
keywait, -, u
{
If var =
var = 11
Else
var--
}
Return
"var" should have same name with the variable, which has two or one digit number, in your code.
You may use this too
NumpadAdd::
keywait, NumpadAdd, u
{
If var =
var = 11
Else
var++
}
Return
NumpadSub::
keywait, NumpadSub, u
{
If var =
var = 11
Else
var--
}
Return
