While loop doesn't exit

[Nina]

Hi,

I'm new to AutoIT, I Have a loop that I would like it to exit if the value of the variable $false = 1, but it doesn't work. I know that I can use exitloop, but for my learning purposes I would like to understand why my code doesn't exit when the value of $false changes to 1

Global $Question1, $Question2, $Question3, $false, $true, $score
Global $Reponse1, $Reponse2, $Reponse3
$Reponse1 = '+'
$Reponse2 = '+'
$Reponse3 = '-'
$false = 0

while $false = 0
   $Question1 = InputBox("Question 1","Question 1? :")
   If $Question1 <> $Reponse1 Then
      $false = 1
   EndIf
   $Question2 = InputBox("Question 2", "Question 2 :")
   if $Question2 <> $Reponse2 then
     $false = 1
   EndIf
   $Question3 = InputBox("Question 3","Question 2 :")
   if $Question3 <> $Reponse3 Then
     $false = 1 
   EndIf
   MsgBox(0, "Resultat", "votre score est :", $false)
   WEnd

Nina,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Your code does exit the While...WEnd loop when $false = 1, but only when it reaches the WEnd line and so after you have answered all the questions. If you want to exit the loop directly after a false response, then you need to use ExitLoop in place of the $false = 1 line.

And I am not sure quite why you have $false in your MsgBox line - at present you are using it to give a 1 second timeout if a false response has been given, which i am pretty sure is not what you want. If you want to give a score then you will need to increase $false with each error ($false += 1) and then call the MsgBox like this:

sgBox(0, "Resultat", "votre score est : " & 3 - $false)

Please ask again if you have further questions.

Why not simply leave the loop like this:

While 1
   $Question1 = InputBox("Question 1","Question 1? :")
   If $Question1 <> $Reponse1 Then ExitLoop
   $Question2 = InputBox("Question 2", "Question 2 :")
   if $Question2 <> $Reponse2 Then ExitLoop
   $Question3 = InputBox("Question 3","Question 2 :")
   If $Question3 <> $Reponse3 Then ExitLoop
   MsgBox(0, "Resultat", "votre score est :", $false)
WEnd

Melba23,

Thank you very much, it's clear now.

Yes I wanted it to display the score
