Converting an array index value into a variable?

[Colin Leamy]

Hi, I'm just learning MQL5 and I have a question that has got me stuck.

I'm trying to write a basic script that adds up all of the price values within an array

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Script program start function                                    |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
  {
//---
   MqlRates pricedata[];
   ArraySetAsSeries(pricedata, true);
   int barcount  = CopyRates(_Symbol, 0, 0, 10, pricedata);
   double close = pricedata[0].close;
   int data = 0;
   for(close <= pricedata[10].close; pricedata[++].close)
     {
      data = data + close;
     }
   Print(" The value is" + (string) data);
  }

I'm sure I have completely botched it.

However what I want is to get the data from index 0-10 and add them together by using a for loop on pricedata[x] where x is x + x++ and then extract the data for each value of x.

Would appreciate the help.

Definitely.	double close = pricedata[0].close;    for(close <= pricedata[10].close; pricedata[++].close)      {       data = data + close;      }
The for loop controls the index.	for(int i=0; i <= 10; ++i)      {      data += pricedata[i].close;      }
