Why is my code not working?

I have the following code that allows me to increase/decrease the value of d by pressing the arrow keys.

    d = 20
    f = figure;
    k=1;
    while k
        waitforbuttonpress;
        if get(gcf,'CurrentCharacter')==28 %for left arrow key
            d=d-10
        elseif get(gcf,'CurrentCharacter')==29 %for right arrow key
            d=d+10
        elseif get(gcf,'CurrentCharacter')==32 %for space bar
            break
        end
    end

It almost works, except I would like the loop to end or "break" when I press the space bar. For some reason when I try pressing the spacebar MatLab returns with "There is no CurrentCharacter property on the Figure class". I tried a slightly different code by changing "break" in the 11th line to "k=0" but I got the exact same error.

Thank you!!!

Hello Emily, the code above seems to work. Is is possible that you misspelled 'CurrentCharacter' on the space bar line for the code that didn't work?

Emily, the code works just fine. Also you need not explicitly declare f = figure; on line 2. The waitforbuttonpress call will do that automatically.

Oops, yeah I misspelled it. Thanks!
