The problem is that you are using "=" in your conditional tests. A single
"=" sign means "assignment"... to *compare* values, you need to use TWO
equal signs (e.g., "=="). When you use an assignment operator in the
conditional, the value of the conditional is equal to the value assigned...
and any non-zero value is considered to be "true"... Thus, in this line:
if (out = 7) { out = 0 };
The conditional value is always "7" (regardless of the actual value of
'out'), so the conditional is always invoked, and out is ALWAYS set to 0.
Similarly, in this line:
if ( offset = 7 - n ) {output= Workout[1]};
"offset=7" evaluates to "7"... and then 'n' is subtracted. If 'n' has a
value of "7", then the conditional will have a value of "0" (i.e.,
"false"), and will not be invoked. However, if 'n' has ANY other value,
then the conditional will be a non-zero value and the code will be invoked.
To fix your code, change the single "=" in the conditionals to "==", like
this:
if (out == 7) { out = 0 };
if ( offset == 7 - n ) {output= Workout[1]};
Let me know how it goes...
