MEL, how do I create toggle that changes the variable value after running once.

I'm looking to click a button and run a bunch of lines of code and at the end update my variable so when I click the button the second time it runs some different lines of code. I tried this, but it's complaining about redeclaring the variable. What's the cleanest way to do a simple toggle where the state changes each time you run it?

int $uvToggleChecker = 1;
if ($uvToggleChecker == 1)
print "UV checker map turned on.";

if ($uvToggleChecker == 0)
print "UV checker map turned off.";
int $uvToggleChecker = 0;

> int $uvToggleChecker = 0;

Why do this instead of:

> $uvToggleChecker = 0;

or just

> $uvToggleChecker = !$uvToggleChecker;

That did the trick, thank you! Here is the code that works for me.

int $uvToggleChecker = !$uvToggleChecker;
if ($uvToggleChecker == 1)
print "UV checker map turned on.";

if ($uvToggleChecker == 0)
print "UV checker map turned off.";
