Discussion of article "MQL5 Programming Basics: Lists" - page 2

The most interesting part is that this is far from the worst resource article.

Oh, Sir Andrew the Magnificent!

You point with your finger to the straight path, be generous. What books should we read?

Where is the granite that we can dig into and not break all our teeth prematurely?

It is humbling to watch how a person who is superficially familiar with the topic of binary search and lists teaches himself. However, let's not get out of the role of a home-grown guru's pupils and follow the posts of the "expert" with anticipation!

It is hilarious to watch how a person who is superficially familiar with the topic of binary search and lists teaches himself. However, let's not get out of the role of students of a home-grown guru, and we will continue to follow the posts of the "expert" with a panting breath!

Yeah, go on advising methaquots how to write a terminal for them, without you they will surely write a lame one.

Oh, man, I'm freaking out. I knew it was better not to write.

Yeah, go on advising methaquots on how to write a terminal, without you they'll probably write crap.

Oh, man, I'm freaking out. I knew I shouldn't have written it.

And yet I did, why???

On the contrary. Now that I've written it, I'm interested in reading more on the subject. The more information, the better. Something to compare it to. Give me the authors. )

Stress stimulates development. And the author has a lot of room to develop.

Unlike here, for example, there's no point in even writing anything.

 

What is the essence of lists? What is their fundamental difference from arrays? Is it that any object can be assigned to an element of a list? If so, then this whole topic should start with the fact that all classes must be inherited from the same class. This is the only and most important thing that forms the topic of lists. Beyond that, it's not a big deal. Since an element of a list can be anything, it means that the list itself can be... and then it's on to trees.

There is a second option. One element is either an array of data or a node. These fiddles are somehow solved on a case-by-case, place-by-place basis. This attempt to standardise everything is interesting, but is there a standard, is it the very basis or is it someone's attempt to impose their way of thinking?

What is the fundamental difference between a list and a tree?

To show off, of course. From my experience I can say that in almost every team of programmers there are one or two arrogant "gurus" from whom you can constantly hear "You don't understand anything!", "I won't even try to explain such elementary things" or "Go and read the manual." etc. etc. In reality, these "gurus" often break deadlines, write horrible bull-code that is almost impossible to debug, and generally lead destructive activities in the team. But they have one answer for everything: "You are all idiots, but I am the only smart one."

It is at least unethical and unprofessional to criticise other people's work left and right. Well, you know what an array is, let's say you know how to design an Expert Advisor - fine, write your article with your implementation variant and we will look at it and discuss it. And so everyone can scorn. It turns out that you have only a few codes and even fewer articles. But you hang labels like "You are all idiots", "Go and study the mathematical part", etc. etc. on the right and left. What are you yourself? What have you done for MQL Community? I think if every member of our community asks himself this question, the arrogance on the forum will be reduced, and communication will become more constructive and friendly.

Sounds like "being half pregnant."
