RE: [amibroker] Single Value from Array

Try this:

i = 0; //Start at beginning of array
do i++; while (myArray[i-1] == myArray[i])
//After this line executes, the value of i = the first changed array
element.

Subject: [amibroker] Single Value from Array

Well, I'm stumped. I've tried just about every way I could think of 
to get this accomplished, but I'm simply not smart enough to do it. 
Hopefully, someone here is.

I can't seem to iterate through an array to discover if a value is 
different from a base value. For example: suppose your array looks 
like this:
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1

I want to look through that array and return "1" the first time it 
changes from 0 to 1. The problem is that arrays can't show up in any 
kind of loop. I don't know the 1 is there, so I can't just look 
for "1". I need to look through the array and return the different 
value, whatever it may be.

Here's an example of what the code would look like:

I have an array.
Look at the first number in the array and call it "x".
Look at the second number in the array. If it's the same as "x", 
then look at the third number. If it's still the same, look at the 
fourth number, etc...
Once you get to a number that is not "x", call that number "y".
Stop looking for something other than "x".

Any ideas? The Ref() function obviously won't work because it 
returns an array. Is there another function that works like Ref(), 
but returns a single value?
