I'm trying to get two random numbers and put them into the variables A and B. Then I have an IF statement to tell me if A=B, if not then it tells me it doesn't. I have a MsgBox to debug my code so I can physically see if A=B myself, but the program ALWAYS says that A=B, even if they don't.

*NOTE* For easier explanation, I used A and B in explanation instead of the real variables used in the program.
Code:
Loop
{
   msgbox, %11% - %12%
   if (%12% = %11%)
   {
   Msgbox, 11=12
   random, 12, 1, 9
   }
    if (%12% <> %11%)
   {
   msgbox, Not same.
   Break
   }
}

Variable names in an expression are not enclosed in percent signs (except for arrays and other double references). Consequently, literal strings must be enclosed in double quotes to distinguish them from variables.

so you cannot have variables named with only numbers because then it thinks they are numbers not variables.
this works
Code:
Loop
{
   random, a, 1, 9
   random, b, 1, 9
    msgbox, %a%, %b%
    if (a = b)
   {
   msgbox, same.
   Break
   }
}

Well, let me post my whole code on here. It's supposed to generate a complete sudoku board.

Code:
loop 9
{
x1=%a_index%
loop 9
   {
x2=%A_index%
gosub, rannum
if (x1 = 1 AND x2 = 2)
      {
   Loop
         {
            msgbox, Still in loop.`n%11% - %12%
   if (%12% = %11%)
               {
   Msgbox, 11=12
   gosub, rannum
               }
    if (%12% <> %11%)
               {
                  msgbox, Not same.
   Break
               }
         }
      }
   }
}

Code:
11=2
12=2

Loop
{
   msgbox, %11% - %12%
   a=%11%
   b=%12%
   if (a = b)
   {
   Msgbox, 11=12
   random, 12, 1, 9
   b=%12%
   }
 if (a <> b)
   {
   msgbox, Not same.
   Break
   }
}

I made it copy 11 and 12 to temporary variables for the comparisons

wtf??

Read this (especially sections H and I). Then apply what you have learned.
AutoHotkey Expression Examples: "" %% () and all that.

Just tried this and it didn't work, same results.
Code:
loop 9
{
x1=%a_index%
loop 9
   {
x2=%A_index%
gosub, rannum
if (x1 = 1 AND x2 = 2)
      {
   Loop
         {
            a=%11%
            b=%12%
            msgbox, Still in loop.`n%a% - %b%
   if (%a% = %b%)
               {
   Msgbox, 11=12
   gosub, rannum
               }
    if (%a% <> %b%)
               {
                  msgbox, Not same.
   11=%a%
   12=%a%
   Break
               }
         }
      }
   }
}

stop guessing and do some studing.

Read this (especially sections H and I). Then apply what you have learned.
AutoHotkey Expression Examples: "" %% () and all that.

start with some simple testing!!
Quote:
a = 2
b = 3
if (%a% <> %b%)
msgbox, different
else
msgbox, same
exitapp

Why does this code report that a is equal to b?
Read the link I gave, then modify this code to produce the correct results.

Don't expect help if you are not willing to expend some effort learning. :twisted:

Well, in all honesty, I do put effort into learning it and would rather learn it than anything else. It's just right now, I'm doing a lot of other things, so I'm more or less fiddling with it at the moment until I get free time to actually study it and read up on it. There is no harm in that.

Fine in theory, but I have to agree with jarhed - you really should stop trying to rush through this and learn it properly, otherwise you'll end up wasting more time, and if you actually get it working, you won't even know why!

There is simply NO WAY you can write a program without having a proper knowledge of the language you're writing in.

If you're new to programming, I wouldn't recommend starting with AHK. It's very quirky in its syntax.

I'm not new to this or other programming languages. I wasn't wasting any time by fiddling with it and I do learn it. So you can stop thinking that I don't because you don't know what I do in my spare time or how I learn things and prefer to learn things. On the other hand, at least I attempted and actually looked into the help document and read as much as I could for a good hour or so before posting.

On the other hand... I got it to work and I do know why. So thanks for any help you guys provided.

Aye... Well I just posted in another thread about how horrible and 'freestyle' AHK's syntax is, so I sympathise.

And you know what a programming language to start? I personally look for python but I fear for its future ... Without AHK I think I'll never managed to wait for results in programming as quickly, even if this is the script ...

ahk does not bother to compile, to have a super editor or IDE, to write too much online for a result, memory management, and ultimately to a noob who does not bored is not worse. ..

However ahk seems to be good for a noob noob who wants to stay but not for a noob who's going to become a professional programmer...

at the end, they are a lot of help in this forum!
