I expect 'while' here instead of 'e'

If doesn't reads the keys as they are pressed. It just looks very fast in loop
if the key is down so whenever you press it, you very fast start incrementing
y variable so soon you start to write too big/small values.
You could solve it by adding readkey() somewhere in the loop.
