I'm working on some John Ehler's Easy Language code, and I have reached this section that is so far over my head I'll never be able to translate it.

{Sum DeltaPhases to reach 360 degrees. The sum is the instantaneous period.}

InstPeriod = 0;
Value4 = 0;

For count = 0 to 50 begin
Value4 = Value4 + DeltaPhase[count];
If Value4 > 360 and InstPeriod = 0 then begin
InstPeriod = count;
end;
end;

Will you please translate that into C#?

give this a try...

 

Code

int InstPeriod = 0; int Value4 = 0; for (int count = 0; count <= 50; count++) { Value4 =+ DeltaPhase[count]; if (Value4 > 360 && InstPeriod == 0) { InstPeriod = count; } }

Thanks for taking a stab at it Sunpost... who wrote..

int InstPeriod = 0;
int Value4 = 0;
for (int count = 0; count <= 50; count++)
{
Value4 =+ DeltaPhase[count];
if (Value4 > 360 && InstPeriod == 0)
{
InstPeriod = count;
}
}


DeltaPhase is just a double, so I dropped the [count] from DeltaPhase[count] in your answeras that would not compile... looks like the compiler was thinking the [count] was addressing an array... so I have this now...

//Sum DeltaPhases to reach 360 degrees. The sum is the instantaneous period.
InstPeriod = 0;
Value4 = 0;

for (int count = 0; count < 50; count++)
{
Value4 =+ DeltaPhase;
DrawTextFixed("Tag1",Value4.ToString(),TextPosition.BottomRight); //for debugging
if (Value4 >360 && InstPeriod == 0)
{
InstPeriod = count;
DsInstPeriod[0] = InstPeriod;
//DrawTextFixed("Tag1",InstPeriod.ToString(),TextPosition.BottomRight);
}
}


The DrawTexts I'm using for debugging... What's happening is that DeltaPhase gets added to Value4 once, and gets drawn, but then the if statement never executes... I believe because the loop doesn't run, doesn't keep adding DeltaPhase to Value4, so Value 4 never gets greater than 360 for the if statement to evaluate to true.

Any help much appreciated.

The issue with the statements in the if not being reached after the first time is that InstPeriod gets set to a value other than 0 making the condition (InstPeriod == 0) false.

 

Code

if (Value4 >360 &&InstPeriod == 0) { InstPeriod = count; DsInstPeriod[0] = InstPeriod; //DrawTextFixed("Tag1",InstPeriod.ToString(),TextPos ition.BottomRight); }

Thanks for the help sunpost...

I got the loop running.... indicator doesn't look right, but at least its plotting something other than 0. I probably have something wrong up in the ArcTangent math to debug...


what was wrong with the loop was I had

Value4 =+ DeltaPhase;

instead of +=

Progress has been made.... however. Thanks.

great progress @Crassius!
