recursive function

[ziggymeister]

Hi I am not sure if this is available either with Ninjasscript or the MSDN library I am just trying to get the below function done: Thanks!
Syntax

compoundValue(int length, IDataHolder visible data, IDataHolder historical data);
The default value of the length parameter is 1.
Description

Calculates a compound value according to following rule: if a bar number is bigger than length then the visible data value is returned, otherwise the historical data value is returned. This function is used to initialize studies with recursion.
Example

declare lower;rec x = compoundValue(2, x[1] + x[2], 1);plot FibonacciNumbers = x;
The example calculates the Fibonacci sequence. Starting from the third bar each following number is calculated as the sum of the previous two numbers while the numbers for the first two bars are equal to one. As a result you will get a plot containing the 1 1 2 3 5 etc values.

ziggymeister,

I am not sure where you got that method from as it is not a standard method from .NET that I am aware of. You can still feel free to create yourself your own method named that that does exactly that if you wish though.
