Do something every 1k loops ?

[fraizor]

Hello

I have a huge loop (around 100k)

I was wondering if there is a way to do a function every 1k loops

i can hardcode the number in IF condition but this looks silly ...

 

any ideas ?

Have you looked at using the Mod() function?

[fraizor]

Actually yes , but my brain crashed 

 

Like i can imagine  how mod() could help if the loop is fixed to 100k, so i could easily do mod($i, 10000) 

However i cant understand how this would work for dynamic loop size ....

 

One more thing , regarding mod() is  it a heavy function ? wont this waste time and CPU power to calculate mopd in every single loop ?

Not sure why you are at ll worried about cpu cycles when using an interpreter scripting language!

As to the Mod() function, it is simple so I am sure you will be able how to code an if that will be true each 1000 cycles. Just kick your brain in gear at try it as that takes less time than tying your question here.

Hmmm..

 

I should do this: 

if mod($i, 10000) = 0 then myfunc()

am i right ?

Did you try and did it work? 🙄

Spoiler

(it won't do what you initially asked though as 1k <> 10000)

If you are afraid of Mod() you can use a simple counter:

$Counter = 0

While True
    If $Counter = 10000 Then
        $Counter = 0
        MyFunc()
    EndIf
    $Counter += 1
    ; rest of the code
WEnd
