help for a beginner in MQL5!!!

I don't understand why the compiler gives the error 'starttime' - declaration without type:

datetime starttime=D'00:00:01';

datetime endtime=D'23:59:59';

MqlDateTime startday,swapday,endday;

void TimeToStruct(starttime,startday);

void TimeToStruct(endtime,endday);

startday.day_of_week=1;

swapday.day_of_week=3;

endday.day_of_week=5;

Thank you so much for this. I learned already the basics of MQL4 and I was searching an article with wich I could begin to learn coding a pivot indicator in MQL5, and your article is very clear. Tank's to you and all publishers of articles.

They used to be. They fell off somewhere. Probably during some server update.

I'm going to look for them and if I find them, I'll attach them here.

• Figure 1. A moment in time.

• Figure 2. A span of time.

Dyck. A moment of time is not the interval between the previous second and the next?????

No. A moment has no duration. Just like in geometry a straight line has no thickness. Maybe in some dictionary or in everyday, poetic sense a moment has duration, but here it doesn't.

1 second has no duration?
