Didn't 
you mean it to be:

I 
didn't try it just noticed the above.

  4.31.0 BETA ExamplesAnyone,  Ok, a very simple 
  example..... x=IIf (H >Ref(H,-1),H,L);   this would 
  result in a line touching eitherthe h or low of each bar based on the 
  condition.if (H >Ref(H,-1))y = H;elsey 
  =L;Plot(y,"HL",colorYellow,1);Plot(C,"",4,styleCandle); rather 
  than evaluating the condition on a bar by bar basis this looks 
  tolastvalue(h) to determine Y for the whole chart. How would I use 
  theif/else syntax to copy IFF? Jayson -----Original

  ExamplesHello Jayson,myema[ 0 ] = close [0];Amibroker 
  uses zero based arrays meaning that the first record in anarray is at the 
  0 position.  Basically this just gives a value to thefirst myema 
  array.  The zero position is the first data record of theclose 
  array.for ( init-expression ; cond-expression ; loop-expression ) 
  statement init-expression= 
  i=1;          means we start the 
  loop with i=1? YEScondition expression= 
  i<barcount;         means do the 
  loop as long asi< the current barcount (like cum(1))?? YESloop 
  expression= i++     means i+i+i  ??????????  
  basically this justmeans i = i + 1Hope this 
  helps,Peter-----Original Message-----From: Jayson

  Re: [amibroker] AmiBroker 4.31.0 BETA ExamplesHello, I fully 
  agree. for/while/if-else + array access is coveredon 3 or 4 pages of any 
  C/C++ book So this is actually less than 1% of entire C/C++ 
  book. So there is absolutely no need to buy/read C++

  4.31.0 BETA ExamplesHi Steve,C++ is definitely not required 
  to program in AFL;it would be an overkill! C++ covers maybe 10 
  times more stuff than AFL.The new stuff in AFL is easily learnt within 
  2 hours.Simply ask the people here. UM -----

  [amibroker] AmiBroker 4.31.0 BETA ExamplesHi Jayson, Sorry to 
  offer the help and then not be around to follow through on it.But, Monday 
  seems to roll around almost every week these days, and thenits off to work 
  again. Better for you though - TJ filled in for me  : 
  -) I'm not sure what kind of book you would like, but since 
  TJ seems tofollow C++ syntax, I can recommend a C++ book that I found to 
  be verygood (pretty big though - over 1000 pages). It is very thorough and 
  easyto understand - definitely geared for beginners in my opinion. It 
  is"C++ Primer Plus" by Stephen Prata. I think you could probably just 
  readup on the items you are interested in if you aren't interested 
  inlearning the whole language. Be careful because it seems that there 
  area couple of other C++ books that call themselves "primers", 
  but aredefinitely NOT for beginners. Especially stay away from 
  StanleyLippman's book, at least until you have some experience (take it 
  fromme....please!). Steve ----- Original Message

  ExamplesHello, While IIF works on ARRAY, if/else 
  works on INDIVIDUAL number/boolean (element of the 
  array). Therefore you should write either a1 = IIF( 
  C > Ref( C, -1 ), 1, 0 ); (or even: a1 = C > Ref( C, -1 
  ); or iterate: for( i = 1; i < BarCount; i++ 
  ){   if  ( Close[ i ] > Close[ i - 1 ] 
  )       a1[ i ] = 1;   
  else       a1[ i ] = 
  0;}  It is important to understand that IIF is a 
  FUNCTION that works onarrays,while if/else is control flow 
  STATEMENT.Function just evaluates all arguments and returns 
  value(s)Control flow statement changes program flow. This is 
  fundamental difference. Best regards,Tomasz

  ExamplesSteve,Your example makes sense yet does not seem to work 
  for me. Else seems tobe ignored . Using the IIF this would simply be 
  ......a1=iif(c>ref(c,-1),1,0);  I am certainly missing something 
  here.... yourinput

  ExamplesHi Ken, I think the concept of loops and if-then-else 
  is the same in alllanguages. I imagine you  could read up on 
  it at many websites (e.g. -MSDN scripting site). Once you grasp the 
  concept, it is just a matter ofusing AFL syntax. You would probably use it 
  mostly for iterating yourarrays if you wanted to do that. Here is a simple 
  pseudo-code - trycoding it in AFL: For (SecondBar to 
  LastBar)  If (Today's Close > Yesterday's 
  Close)    MyArray = 1  Else    
  MyArray = 0Plot MyArray Of course, please feel free to ask 
  for help! Steve ----- Original Message -----
