Frankly? It isn't
I shouldn't have posted the original msg in public as the thread got
hijacked and meandered all over the place. I thought a few of the more
helpful duudes could cobble together a to-do list for newbies to help them
find the answers they'll be needing since the a LOT of questions get
answered here over and over ad naseum.
Maybe it will happen but with time contraints on everyone it will be very
difficult. If those that want to help with this could just make copies of
threads they supply answers to that they feel would be useful in a to-do or
FAQ and then we could at some point collect them and put together a doc(s)
that we could point folks to then that might work.

Subject: RE: [amibroker] Helper duudes: Whadya say let's work up a to do
list for noob's ?--to dingo
yo dingo,
how is this progressing??
i had a problem solved by what is pretty simple coding by you experienced
guys, but not very clear to us noob's---the answer by Perry Lentine from my
post " How do i write the results of a scan or exploration to a
watchlists??"
"Using the Lastvalue() function and compare operator "==" seemed to do it.
The conditional IF needs to have numeric values to work properly."
i have some suggestions for you to help us noob's to understand "How" to
write code.
i think most folks can read the descriptions of the different, functions,
etc. But trying to write the code with the restrictions is where i go
wrong. i'll list some of the things which are not very clear:
1. the difference between "=" and "==".
2. the "legal" test conditions for "if else" and "IIF".
3. The "legal" operations of an "if else" and "IIF", after the tests.
4. Where a number shown as an Integer in the help file, truly needs to be an
Integer, rather than a variable.
5. Limitations of Filter.
there are plenty more examples of restrictions when writing code.
it is the flow, or the change of flow test which i personally find
confusing. i look over others code, and i do not see what is wrong with
mine, but a list of "can" and "can not" ways to code the "if else" & "IIF"
would go a long way.
as an example--I know TJ has lots descriptions in the help file about how to
correctly use "IIF"---always use it to return a result to a variable. But
what about TrueArray and FalseArray---what do they have to be, or perhaps
more importantly--what can they NOT be.
you Helper Duudes (yea in caps) take all these things for granted--it's
automatic for you, but us noob's have trouble grasping some of it.
danielwardadams posted he had his help manual printed at Kinko's and it
really helped him. I too am going to have it printed this week, hopefully
with your list of "How to" i'll make plenty of notes.....
thanks for listening.
