[amibroker] Help with understanding where Boolean/binary values work

[Dennis Brown <see3d@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have noted that some values can be boolean (0 or 1 only) for  
arrays.  No problem with this.  I also note that some values like  
plot styles can have binary values that are ORed together so that a  
combination of different flags can be tested in one value.  No  
problem understanding this either.  My problem is when I try to use  
this idea myself to set multiple flags in one value it does not seem  
to work.  Perhaps I am getting floating point instead of integer values.

Is this the right conceptual form?

y[1] = 0;
y[1] |= 1;
y[1] |= 2;
y[1] |= 8;
y[1] |= 16;

if (y[1] AND 8) {do this}

shapeVar = (y &16)*ShapeUpArrow;

Thanks,
Dennis
