can i write like this ?

[LEE Chun Wing]

struct slow_strategy
{string symbol = {"USDCHF"} };

 

can i write like this ?

that is the first time i use data struct 

 

thanks 

[Florin Ionescu]

struct slow_strategy {
  string symbol = "USDCHF";
  //int stuff1;
  //double stuff2;
  //double stuff3[100];
}

This works with me

You can do it like that, but don't but the {} around the string:

struct slow_strategy
{string symbol = "USDCHF"};

thanks all of you

i find out that {} is use for set all the structure_name member to "USDCHF" , does it?

like  

FILETIME  access_ft = {0};
SYSTEMTIME access_st = {0};

You would use {} if you were trying to fill up an array on construction:

char name[] = {'U', 'S', 'D', 'C', 'H', 'F'};

the code you mention still have compile error:  '=' - variable is expected 

at line 2

 

struct slow_strategy
{string symbol = "USDCHF"};

 how to solve?

well then just declare it first, and then give symbol the value USDCHF

struct slow_strategy
{
string symbol;
};
//...
slow_strategy ss;
ss.symbol = "USDCHF";
//...

thanks ifmihai, it works now

i turn out that i have declare ss as a object to structure (slow_strategy )

 

ss= object

I am not familiar with objects in mql5...yet.

but it's good you worked it out:)

Please, publish your code. As far as i see it is not a top secret, so you can share your code here.

I turn out that the problem come from  have not declare ss as a object to structure (slow_strategy )

that is

slow_strategy ss;

is missing in my  .mq5  file

Thankyou to all of you
