Hi Jayson,
Sorry to offer the help and then not be around to follow
through on it. But, Monday seems to roll around almost every week these days,
and then its off to work again. Better for you though - TJ filled in for
me : - )
I'm not sure what kind of book you would like, but since TJ
seems to follow C++ syntax, I can recommend a C++ book that I found to be very
good (pretty big though - over 1000 pages). It is very thorough and easy to
understand - definitely geared for beginners in my opinion. It is "C++ Primer
Plus" by Stephen Prata. I think you could probably just read up on the items you
are interested in if you aren't interested in learning the whole language. Be
careful because it seems that there are a couple of other C++ books that
call themselves "primers", but are definitely NOT for beginners. Especially
stay away from Stanley Lippman's book, at least until you have some experience
(take it from me....please!).
Steve

Hello,
While IIF works on ARRAY,
if/else works on INDIVIDUAL number/boolean (element of the
array).
Therefore you should write either
a1 = IIF( C > Ref( C, -1 ), 1, 0 );
(or even: a1 = C > Ref( C, -1 );
or iterate:
for( i = 1; i < BarCount; i++ )
{
if ( Close[ i ] > Close[ i - 1 ]
)
a1[ i ] =
1;
else
a1[ i ] =
0;
}
It is important to understand that IIF is a FUNCTION that
works on arrays,
while if/else is control flow STATEMENT.
Function just evaluates all arguments and returns
value(s)
Control flow statement changes program flow.
This is fundamental difference.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Hi Ken,
I think the concept of loops and if-then-else is the same
in all languages. I imagine you could read up on it at many
websites (e.g. - MSDN scripting site). Once you grasp the concept, it is
just a matter of using AFL syntax. You would probably use it mostly for
iterating your arrays if you wanted to do that. Here is a simple pseudo-code
- try coding it in AFL:
For (SecondBar to LastBar)
If (Today's Close > Yesterday's
Close)
MyArray = 1
Else
MyArray = 0
Plot MyArray
Of course, please feel free to ask for help!
Steve
