[amibroker] Re: Relational Operators assigned to variables?

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just repeat the IIF within an IF:

if (something) {
  x = iif ( Open > Close, 0, 1 );
} else {
  x = iif ( Open < Close, 0, 1 );
}

Alternatively, get rid of the IIF entirely since the expression is boolean (which returns 1 on true) and add a NOT operator to reverse it:

if (something) {
  x = NOT (Open > Close);
} else {
  x = NOT (Open < Close);
}

Getting rid of the NOT and reversing the logic gives:

if (something) {
  x = (Open <= Close);
} else {
  x = (Open >= Close);
}

If, on the other hand you want to keep the IIF, you could integrate the 'something' into the IIF giving:

x = iif(something, NOT (Open > Close), NOT (Open < Close));

or:

x = NOT iif(something, Open > Close, Open < Close);

It all boils down to what is most 'readable' to you.
