Hi, I need to fully understand the boolean assignment block. If I want to assign true to a variable "Candle_Down", I would make the first parameter (assigned value) as "true" and the second parameter (assigned variable) I would label "Candle_Down". But why is there a requirement to create a true or false start-value as well for the "Candle Down" assigned variable. I'm not a java programmer, but it looks like some kind of field initialization. So I guess that I initialize the Candle_Down assigned variable to false in this case (I can't see the point in making it true if the value to be assigned is also true).

Am I right about all this? And is there any useful situation in which the assigned boolean value in the first parameter could be same as the boolen value for the assigned value (2nd parameter)?
thanks

Hi,



The above is right.
Any variable has to have a start value whether it is used for calculation or for logical operation such as Boolean type.
In this case, I understand your point but you have to think this way: Variable A = True by default, and if X, Y, Z conditions are met then it switch to False. You can reverse the logic if you which and start with false then turn it to true if conditions are met.
In the example that you described you should start with False so that it is turned to true afterwards.


Yes there is some situations where the default value of the variable (say True) is used in conditions IF=True as well. Such condition depends on the situations. There should be some examples from my previous posts in this forum where you can find such kinematics.

Cheers

Attached a quick example..

thanks - I get it now.
