where is `base.` documented?

[ttodua]

In scripts, i sometimes see:

   protected override void Initialize()
        {			

			// Call Base Initialize
			base.Initialize();
....

what is base? how they work in scripts?

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

As far as NinjaScript is concerned, your indicator extends the indicator class. This means it inherits the properties of the indicator class. The indicator class is the base class your indicator inherits from.

Below is a publicly available link that goes into further detail on "base".

If you have any further questions please let us know.

thanks, and can you refer me the deferences between

base.Something();
and
this.Something();

Hello,

This refers to the current object. Calling a method on this will call the method in the same way as it would if you called it on a variable containing the same instance. The base keyword is used to access members of the base class.

In the future, you can find details on basic programming and advanced programming concepts on the web through a search engine like Google in most cases. You can also visit Microsoft's C# guide at the publicly available link below:
