Using Return() from within a for/while loop?

gordon 2009.11.14 11:48

Some languages don't work well when a function's value is returned from within a loop (in our case 'for' or 'while' loop). I have done some test scripts and I haven't found a problem with that in MQL4, but I'm not sure... Can I return a value from within a loop safely?

How to store the bid and ask price of the last 60 seconds in an array and to use them?
How to call out the ticket number and close it?

Use "break".

I know I can use break. The question is can I just return a value WITHOUT exiting the loop. Is that guaranteed to work?

A return operator terminates the current function execution and returns the control to the calling program.

I go with that, and it works for me.
