I define a simple function as follows which name is "test".
Code: Select all
variables:
index(0);
index = index + 1;
fn_test = index;
Code: Select all
Plot1(test(), "test")
Values of variables in function will be kept
Values of variables in function will be kept
Per my test, values of variables in a function will be kept no matter the function is type of simple or series.
I define a simple function as follows which name is "test".
And in an indicator I plot this function through all bars.
I found the plot keeps increasing. Does that mean a local variable of a function will keep its value even after the function returns?

Re: Values of variables in function will be kept
Hello ragdoll,
The Function Storage determines which data will be stored and returned. If one uses the Simple type, it will be impossible to know the value of the previous bar. The Series type stores the series so one can call the previous bar value.
In the example provided, the indicator has displayed the current values of each bar.
