Cycle loop

please keep to 1 thread... delete this one if you can

Mabey I want a second oppinion to make sure that we both understand each other because I am only learning and I am dyslexic so some times people dont understand what I say. This may be easy for you but it is very hard to see these things in my head. Also I make this picture from what you have teached me and ask for direct answers and you have made little comment on what I have asked or drawn (you teach me lots of thing)it makes me paranoid because I do a lot of reading again and again of what you have told me to come up with the picture and good questions, am I getting closer? or going backwards?

I have studyed you words all day, your teachings are very useful I thank you! and sorry if I might have offended you.

bamben, i think you will need to be carefull with your numerous posts, you might get a ticket for spamming etc. I dont think forex factory will appreciate the amount of thread you have started generally about the same thing. It is only a warning friend, not having a go at you.
Maybe you shud just use one thread and call it, 'bamben mql4 help me thread'.

As regards to your cycle definition, I think you are starting to see the picture, but still not 100% on it.
I will try to explain to you see if this help any:

C=0 ; C<=P-1 ; C++

Lets break this down into pieces.

Do you know what this means?
C=0?

C is equal to the integer 0.
Ok this is our starting point.

C<=P-1?

C is less than or equal to P-1. What is the value of 'P' here?

Lets say P=10. Ok so now our loop looks like this:

C=0 ; C<=10-1 ; C++

C is less than or equal to 10 - 1, which litterally means C is less than or equal to 9.
Because 10 - 1 equals 9.

Ok so we have these 2 parts of the loop figured out;

C = 0 is our starting point, because a loop has to start somwhere.
Then our ending point is C<=10-1 or in your example C<=P-1.

Right so we want to loop through these values somehow. Starting at 0 and ending at P-1. How will we get there?

This is where the last part comes in. C++

Do you know what C ++ means? or rather what ++ after a variable means?

++ after a variable means add 1 to it after its been processed.
So we start at 0, how do we get to 1? well the C++ takes care of this by adding 1 to 0. And the loop continues adding ++ or + 1 to the last value untill we reach the end of our loop, which is C<=P-1.

This is how a loop works. You have to tell it where to start, where to end and how to go from the start to the end, because a computer doesnt know what you want to do untill you tell it what u want it to do.

Sorry for the long winded explanation. Here is a link for you that is really good

No, your explanation is also good to help understand Zen Leow better. I will stop posting things more than once now. sorry I did not know It was a bad thing. only I dont like to see my post too sink to the bottom with no reply, it make me cry.

Can someone direct me to me information on this indicator

lol sorry mate thats not an indicator! that i just a picture i drew to try and understand a cycle loop within programming...

what did you want to do with it? lol

I mean what kind of indicator do you want? i think if you want to see a cycle loop come one the screen Zen Leow told me you can do this:


try it!

But i have lots of indicators if you want something in particular. I collect them lol

sorry the quote box isnt big enough...

go here to see what Zen said to me:

Bamben,

I agree with Zen Leow, you really should contain most of your posts to one thread. A moderator will probably combine them anyway, but it would be more courteous to stick to one thread per topic. Everyone sees the same forum (except the super-secret technical krypton forum), so please make sure everyone's threads have room to be seen

That said, I think you've got a good idea running with pictures and explainations of what its like to start learning code. I think most of the threads combined would make a good learning tool.
