Discussion of article "LifeHack for traders: Blending ForEach with defines (#define)" - page 5

 
fxsaber:

They (macros) are not there.

I would love to read an article about macros. Yes, they are ancient technologies and last century in programming, but young people don't know what they are. Moreover, there are a lot of people on this site who just started learning programming from scratch. I am constantly writing questions in private that would be useful to form them into an article. I think fxsaber is the best expert on the topic of macros. I propose to close the disagreements and make an article about macros. I'm sure it will be extremely interesting)))

ZY: I suggest not to quarrel, but to help each other.

What else on macros can be written in addition to LifeHack for trader: mixing ForEach on defines (#define)?

Yes, it seems to me that the article is quite exhaustive and there is nothing much to add, especially for beginners.

But, to be fair, I should note that it is really not easy to "wade through" the virtual use of macros in fxsaber's code. As a rule, the code itself is original and interesting, but even an experienced programmer finds it difficult to understand it. And I think it is almost impossible for a beginner.

Well, I made an attempt to translate it into human language and give a detailed description.

You have succeeded - thank you! Somehow I missed this article earlier, and I saw it only now. I think there is nothing to add to it.

No, no, no. We need an article from fxsaber, the guru of macros. They open a lot of undocumented and interesting features that are sometimes very necessary.

 
Vasiliy Sokolov:

No, no, no. The article needs to be written by fxsaber macro guru. With the help of them, a lot of undocumented and interesting features are opened, which are sometimes very necessary.

But he doesn't write articles. He puts everything in CodeBase

 
Rashid Umarov:

Only he doesn't write articles. He puts everything in CodeBase

So, you should make him do it;) What he puts in CodeBase is not clear to many people, including me (this is a well-known problem of macros). On the other hand, his macro proficiency is off the charts. Those things he does give out-of-the-box tricks. This is valuable knowledge that should be shared with the public!

Use radical measures, write in a private message "I'm your house chimney," and all that kind of thing - in case he agrees.

 
Vitaly Muzichenko:

To apply radical measures, to write in a private message "I your house the pipe shatel", well, and all in such a spirit - in case he agrees

sometimes flattery is more effective instead of threats, alas we are all human beings and other people's opinion has value for us, I would recommend a poll on this topic, and suddenly the positive opinion of participants will have a favourable effect on fxsaber'a.

ZY: as far as I remember, to write an article quickly you need to have a plan, making a plan of the article would make it easier for fxsaber's task, provided he agrees to this kind of activity.
