Why does Bars in my code freeze my mt4?

[[Deleted]]

Here is the portion of my code in question

/*
    int counted_bars = IndicatorCounted();
    i=Bars;
      if(counted_bars>i) i=Bars-counted_bars-1;
     */ 
     
    i = 100;
     while(i > 0)
     {
       string match = List[0];
      
       m = 0;
       for(j = size - 1; j >= 0; j--)
       {
         if( (Close[i+j] - Open[i+j]) > 0)match = StringSetChar(match, m,'u');
         else match = StringSetChar(match, m,'d');
         //Print("Time of Hour "+TimeHour(Time[i+j]));for debugging

if I use the commented code to initialize i and compile, my mt4 freezes.

On the other hand if I initialize i to any other number as above it will work.

Pretty Please, How do I solve this problem?

i is always greater than 0 . . you while loop never ends.

[William Roeder]

try

// i = 100;
//     while(i > 0)
//     {
for(i=100; i>=0; i--){

WHRoeder:
try

List is an array of type string

I tried that. now it freezes on numbers that it worked on a day before. Here is the code

i = 100;
    Print("Year: "+TimeYear(Time[i])+" Month: "+TimeMonth(Time[i])+" Day: "+TimeDay(Time[i])+"Hour: "+TimeMonth(Time[i]));
     while(i > 0)
     {
       string match = List[0];
      
       m = 0;
       for(j = size - 1; j >= 0; j--)
       {
         if( (Close[i+j+1] - Open[i+j+1]) > 0)match = StringSetChar(match, m,'u');
         else match = StringSetChar(match, m,'d');
         //Print("Time of Hour "+TimeHour(Time[i+j]));for debugging
         m++;
       }
      // Print("pattern found is "+match+" at hour " +TimeHour(Time[i]) );//for debugging
      /*Data to check closing up/down
       for(j = 0; j<ArraySize(List); j++)
       {
          if( (List[j] == match)&&( (Close[i-1] - Open[i-1]) < 0) )
          {
              Frequency[j]++;
              ListData[j][0]++;
          }
          else if( (List[j] == match)&&((Close[i-1] - Open[i-1]) >= 0) )
          {
              Frequency[j]++;
              ListData[j][1]++;
          }
       }

       for(j = 0; j < ArraySize(List); j++)
