Difference between ArrayIsSeries and ArrayGetAsSeries

[HarriMQL5]

Hello

What is the difference between these two functions, because in the documentation the descriptions are very similar?

Thanks in advance

ArraySetAsSeries sets the value that changes how the indexing works in your arrays. ArrayGetAsSeries read the value. I use Set in my ResizeBuffer() code to expand arrays like indicator buffers.

My read is ArrayIsSeries tells you if the array is Time[], Open[], Close[], High[], Low[], or Volume[]. Possibly buffers set by ArrayCopyRates() and ArrayCopySeries(). I've never used it.

Try this code:

bool IsSeries(double A[]){ return( ArrayIsSeries   (A) ); }
bool AsSeries(double A[]){ return( ArrayGetAsSeries(A) ); }
:
double myA[];
Print(IsSeries(Close),IsSeries(myA)); // 10
Print(AsSeries(Close),AsSeries(myA)); // 10
ArraySetAsSeries(myA, true); // See ResizeBuffer
Print(IsSeries(Close),IsSeries(myA)); // 10
Print(AsSeries(Close),AsSeries(myA)); // 11

Ok, thanks. I got it.
