Hello,
I fully agree. for/while/if-else + array access is
covered
on 3 or 4 pages of any C/C++ book
So this is actually less than 1% of entire C/C++
book.
So there is absolutely no need to buy/read C++
book
All you really need to know about new features in
AFL
I described in:

Hi Steve,
C++ is definitely not required to program in
AFL;
it would be an overkill! <FONT
face=Arial>C++ covers maybe 10 times
more stuff than AFL.
The new stuff in AFL is easily learnt within 2
hours.
Simply ask the people here.

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.

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
