Liquid Crystal LCD move cursor automatically "lcd.setCursor(0, 0)"

hello,


i move cursor in lcd, able write combination of more numbers ir controller.

the function "lcd.setcursor(0, 0)" allows set column , row within bracket.

i have result showing lcd screen , unified variable well.



this i've been able far, cursor doesn't move...:

#include <liquidcrystal.h>
#include <irremote.h>

int recv_pin = 2; //ir
irrecv irrecv(recv_pin);
decode_results results;

liquidcrystal lcd(a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5);


void setup()
{
  serial.begin(9600);
  irrecv.enableirin();
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
}
 
void loop()
{   
    if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
    translateir();
    irrecv.resume();
  }
  delay(100);
}


void translateir()
{

int a=1;     //trying get
int result=a+1;   // +1 adding sum after every controller press ?

switch(results.value)
  {

  case 0xff6897: case 0xc101e57b:
     lcd.setcursor((a++), 1); 
     lcd.print("0");
    serial.println("0");
    a++;
    break;

  case 0xff30cf: case 0x9716be3f:
     lcd.setcursor((a++), 1); 
     lcd.print("1");
    serial.println("1");
    a++;
    break;

  case 0xff18e7: case 0x3d9ae3f7:
       lcd.setcursor((a++), 1); 
     lcd.print("2");
    serial.println("2");
  result = result+a;
    break;

  case 0xff7a85: case 0x6182021b:
       lcd.setcursor((result), 1); 
     lcd.print("3");
    serial.println("3");
    break;

  case 0xff10ef: case 0x8c22657b:
    serial.println(" 4              ");
    break;

  case 0xff38c7: case 0x488f3cbb:
    serial.println(" 5              ");
    break;

  case 0xff5aa5: case 0x449e79f:
    serial.println(" 6              ");
    break;

  case 0xff42bd: case 0x32c6fdf7:
    serial.println(" 7              ");
    break;

  case 0xff4ab5: case 0x1bc0157b:
    serial.println(" 8              ");
    break;

  case 0xff52ad: case 0x3ec3fc1b:
    serial.println(" 9              ");
    break;

  default:
    serial.println("?");

  }
  delay(500);
}

thanks help
