How to input the length of a shadow in an EA?

I'm just learning the basics of EA's and was wondering how you would denote the length of the lower shadow of a candle. I guess one way would be

Inserted Code

if(Close[0] <= Open[0])
{
     double lowershadow = Close[0]-Low[0];
}
 
else()
{
     double uppershadow = Open[0]-Low[0];
}

Is there a simpler way of defining the length of a candles lower shadow?

Thanks

Inserted Code

  double lowerShadow=MathMin(Open[0],Close[0])-Low[0];

should do it
