[amibroker] Re: Trying to store Optimized Variables using AddToComposite

Dennis,

My understanding is that when passing a scalar as argument when an
array is expected, then an *entire* array is constructed on the fly
(i.e. as many elements as there are bars under analysis) such that all
elements of the transient array contain the same value - the scaler.

So, taking your example in a 500 bar analysis, you will have created a
500 element array for each of (a>b), (b>c), (b<c) and the result of
IIf. That's 2000 positions in memory that you did not need!
