Many programming languages choose tokens based on the # of keypresses required [e.g. = rather than :=]. By that criteria, Worden's ugly '.' syntax is the clear winner.

A new poll has been created for the amibroker group: As a convenience feature I was contemplating for some time to allow shorter syntax to very common operation of referring to past elements of the array. As you now current syntax to refer to past is: Ref( array, -bars ) So close five bars back is Ref( C, -5 ) I don't have any technical problem with adding new operator that will make it shorter, but I am wondering about the most preferrable "form", that is easy to use and does not create confusion. Note that old ref-syntax will remain functional. So I would like to ask you which "short form" would you prefer (for "close 5 bars ago"): o I don't like the idea at all o c...@5 o C#5 o C(5) To vote, please visit the following web page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/surveys?id=2828485 Note: Please do not reply to this message.
