Someone asked earlier about why I had used
the expression
Count = Close-Close;
in initializing my arrays to zero and I found out from my tutor
this morning why I had been taught that
convention.
Most of the time you will not get into
any issues if you write
Count = 0;
rather than
Count = Close - Close; or
Count = C-C;
However if you call or
exit to VBscript or potentially jScript utilities in the same AFL
module,
the script functions don't know in
what context you used Count = 0; i.e. was it a scalar
you
are passing or an array(vector) as a
parameter; but if you initialize it as an array there will be no doubt.
An example would be if you call a VB utility
and use the variable count as a parameter
without defining it as an array you
could get some wierd errors, for example if you
tried to intierate count[i] inside the
VB script you probably would get a surpise.
The flexibility of AFL is great in that
it doesn't require you to define arrays and scalars,
it figures in what context you used it
for the most part without any
hickups. There have
been many versions of AB since that
convention was adopted but it doesn't take much
time to TYPE your variable as an array.
I'll be happy to stand corrected by
someone knowegable in programming and AFL
if I didn't represent this correctly.
Let me know.
Hope this helps.
