Nope, why not just declare the array ?
Pointer is a bit of an unfortunate word to use as mql4 does not use pointers . . . . index is a much better word IMO and it is the cell or place in the array where yo want to read a value from or write a value to, just like you do with the Order pool. So if you want the 5th value in the array you use ArrayName[4] and 4 is the indexLiam's term 'pointer' may not be a term in MQL4 BUT ;) Liam's term 'pointer' universally makes sense if a person(s) codes in different languages. Anyhow, thanks to Liam for his helpful post.
Ah, yep, seems a cycle would play it's part just nicely to locate an index. I can't think of a more applicable use than a cycle. Greatly appreciated Simon.
Thank you
A vector has quantity, direction and mass. Arrays store vectors. I guess when it all boils down, a vector can have any data-type, assuming the quantity has direction and mass.
A vector typically has a usual data-type of double or integer. It's all just more ways to crunch numbers.
Vector in the C++ standard libarary is a array wrapper. Maybe what he's use to. vector - C++ Reference
Ah I see, dynamic arrays, but this is not mql4.
Simon, I'm not trying to confuse you by using terminology outside MQL4. I assumed you understood what I meant BUT ;) in this case, I assumed too much. It seems William has introduced you to what I believe defines the term vector according to C++ lingo. I believe there's multiple uses of the term vector but generally speaking, a vector is typically referred to as an object possessing quantity, direction and mass. Arrays can store values of a vector.
What say you to this, Simon?
Also, thank you William for your interpretation of C++'s meaning of the term vector. Thank you
Thank you
