Actually it is an array with an element cooresponding to each bar ... Check it with Explore ...

Look to the AFL formula I posted and check what you get in DbgView. That's an array with 10 elements. How do you call the creation of an array with 10 elements ? Isn't that setting the dimension of an array ? Of course not in the way we are familiar with in other programming languages. But the final result is the same.

Would be a good text as introduction for the AFL manual. I have a question. Somewhere in this article it says : > Where AFL arrays differ from generic arrays in other programming languages is that AFL arrays always match the bars on the current chart, so the size of the array (ie. the number of values in the array) is the same as the number of bars on the chart. In other programming languages it's usually possible to specify the array size yourself, and store anything you like in the array. > > In other words where I can DIMENSION an array and specify its size in other programming languages, according to the above this should be impossible in AFL. But what am I getting with the following AFL instruction ? Isn't this the same as creating an array with 10 elements ? > for (i = 0 ; i < 11; i++) MyArray[i] = 0; > > So in my opinion it should be possible to create one dimensional arrays in AFL. And this brings me to the next question. How about two dimensional arrays ? Does AFL support two dimensions in an array ? What happens when I create a two dimensional array in say Basic and pass this array to AFL ? > > Regards, Ton. > > --- Original Message ----- > > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 7:01 AM > Subject: [amibroker] New file uploaded to amibroker > > > > Hello, > > This email message is a notification to let you know that > a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the amibroker > group. > > File : /Looping in AmiBroker AFL.pdf > Uploaded by : gp_sydney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Description : An overview of using loops in AFL, covering arrays & indexing, loop constructs, the switch/case statement, and some examples. > > You can access this file at the URL: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/files/Looping%20in% 20AmiBroker%20AFL.pdf > > To learn more about file sharing for your group, please visit: > http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/files > > Regards, > > gp_sydney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >
