Re: [amibroker] Using Functions to Process Arrays

Hi again - just had another look at your question, I notice that you just 
refer to "processing arrays". You picked an example that uses looping but 
you can wrap any AFL in a function, you don't need to use looping unless you 
really need it...Thnk of the function as sort of a container - it will 
basically hold any code that you could just as easily put inline, not much 
reason to use one I don't think unless you want to call the code from 
several places or it is part of some larger organizational scheme...
