Re: [amibroker] Re: Newbe Question Object Orientation in AFL

Hello,
 
Generally speaking AFL is not really object-oriented. Most traders are not aware of object-oriented
programming paradigm and find it complex. That's why vast majority of AFL is based on functions.
In this area AFL is most similar to plain C language (*not* C++).
 
But.... at the same time AFL supports OLE/COM objects http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_aflcom.html
and some interfaces are based on COM
such as automatic trading interface http://www.amibroker.com/at/  or custom backtester interface:
 
These areas use object-oriented programming paradigm.
 
So although you can not create your own classes directly in AFL, you can *USE* any COM object/class.

Best regards,

Hi Franz --

Yes, it does.  Tomasz is much better qualified to explain to you than I.  

But, again, consider exploring the high level capabilities of AmiBroker -- you may not need to program at the C++ level.

Thank you
very much Howard for your answer, i maybe must formulate my question
again because it seems to be spongy formulated. I hope i have not
wasted your time by formulating a spongy question i apologize for that.

What i really want to ask is what is objected oriented at AFL,
i have red that AFL is a object oriented language but on the first
glance it seems to be a procedural script language. A object oriented
language has features like polymorphism, classes and instances.
So does AFL uses features like classes ?

Regards
Franz
