switch

New comment
 
string MyString=Symbol();

switch (MyString)
{
case "EURUSD": MyFunction1();
case "EURCHF": MyFunction2();
}

Compilation gives an error "'switch' - different types in switch statement ".

What is the problem? Thanks!
 
I guess (just a guess) that strings would not work with switch (just basic types as int, double ... as in C++).

Also, in case it would work, your example has the "break;" missing after the cases.

This code is just as compact and should do what you need.

if (MyString=="EURUSD") MyFunction1();
else if (MyString=="GBPUSD") MyFunction2();
else if (MyString=="AUDUSD") MyFunction3();
else MyFunction5();



 
Shimodax,

Thanks for your reply.

Yeah I use multiple IFs for the time being. I know the Delphi's CASE does not work with strings too. However I haven't found any limitations in MQ4 regarding variable types working with SWITCH statement. That's why I wrote my question.

Looking in the help section they are using single quotes around strings, you might give that a try...
