  6. Interesting Thoughts/Tips • You Create Programs in ordinary text files. • We are going to use an IDE, Interactive Development Environment, to make things easier to read • When saving, file extension ends in .au3 • AutoIt let’s you create actually Executable Applications • How to Quit AutoIt Script

  7. Motivation: AutoIt Example • Once you Installed AutoIt, go into your Start Menu, locate AutoIt and go to the following folder: • Examples -> GUI -> Advanced • Try these examples: • Rotate.au3 • Zoom.au3

  8. Let’s Code Our First Program Msgbox(0, "Title", "My Content") • Type the above code into the SciTE IDE, click F5 to run • To find definition go to Google and type • “site:autoitscript.com msgbox” • Try playing with MsgBox flags you found in the documentation on Google

  9. Variables • $x = 5, 10 ; The value stored in variable “x” is 5. • Variable can be named anything. • Math is easy: • $x = 5 + 10 • $a = $a + $b

  10. Strings • $aString = “MURT 102 will be my favorite class”; • $bString = ‘MURT 102 will be my favorite class’; • $cString = ‘MURT 102 will be my “favorite” class’; • $dString = “Corn” & “Dog”

  11. Combining Info $name = Inputbox("Input", "What's the name of ur favorite person?", "G-Unit") $myString = "My favorite person is " & $name msgbox(0,"Title", $myString) • Take the time to look up how this stuff works. Look at the provided examples
