Order check of 10 variables

  Hi

  I have ten variables and I need to check they are in order.

  See below:

  var1 = 1 // boolean var2 = 1 // boolean var3 = 1 // boolean var4 = 1 // boolean var5 = 1 // boolean var6 = 1 // boolean var7 = 1 // boolean var8 = 1 // boolean var9 = 1 // boolean var10 = 1 // boolean if (var1 >= var2) and (var2 >= var3) and (var3 >= var4) and (var4 >= var5) and (var5 >= var6) and (var6 >= var7) and (var7 >= var8) and (var8 >= var9) and (var9 >= var10) then inorder = 1 else inorder = 0 endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

  var1 = 1 // boolean var2 = 1 // boolean var3 = 1 // boolean var4 = 1 // boolean var5 = 1 // boolean var6 = 1 // boolean var7 = 1 // boolean var8 = 1 // boolean var9 = 1 // boolean var10 = 1 // boolean   if (var1 >= var2) and (var2 >= var3) and (var3 >= var4) and (var4 >= var5) and (var5 >= var6) and (var6 >= var7) and (var7 >= var8) and (var8 >= var9) and (var9 >= var10) then    inorder = 1 else    inorder = 0 endif

  The problem I’m having is the variables can be enabled or disabled by the user. If they are disabled, then their value is 0.

  Therefore, using the above test fails if any one of them isn’t enabled.

  Other than a convoluted bunch of if/ then statements, is there another way to achieve such a check?

  Thanks

  Rob

  Can you make an  example of the value they may retain and which is the  order you need?

  Hi Roberto

  The values could be anywhere in the range say 1-2000.

  If the variable values are in order (depending on which are enabled) then they are not interesting. In order is as mentioned in first post so (var1 >= var2) and (var2 >= var3) etc.

  So if any of the lower ones are enabled they should always be a higher number than the higher ones.

  Sometimes they get completely out of order and it would be useful to know those orders without having to check manually but I think that is too complicated. Simply knowing when they are not in the primary order would be a start.

  I hope that makes sense? Let me know if not.

  Many thanks

  Rob

  You need to use arrays, instead of variables.

  You will find useful info at https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/array-variables-availability-in-prorealtime/.
