How to restrict the barcount to only intraday

AFL Programming
#1

Hi friends,
I am trying to compare the two arrays and count the number of times the condition is true for an intraday.I am using the below code.

Count=0;
for(i=0;i<BarCount;i++)
 {
   
   if (C[i]>O[i])
      {
        
        Count=Count+1;
      }

 }

In the above code the problem is "BarCount" is considering all the bars(I want to make it to consider only for today bars).
So i modified the code in the below way.

newday=Day()!=Ref(Day(),-1);
barss=BarsSince(newday)+1;
Count=0;
for(i=0;i<barss;i++)
 {
   
   if (C[i]>O[i])
      {
        
        Count=Count+1;
      }

 }

Then i am getting the error as " condition if, while, for statements has to be numeric or boolean type.You can not use array here.please use [] (array subscript operator) to access array elements " How to resolve the issue.
Much appreciate for your guidelines.

Numerous numbers of posts by you but still ....How do I debug my formula?

printf("\n barss: %g",barss);
for(i=0;i<barss;i++)   //is this logic correct.... in context what you want to code?

use LastValue

Your 2nd loop is incorrect. It is not done that way. And barss is an array not single number.

Most importantly you do not need any single loop!

dn = DateNum();
newday = dn != Ref(dn,-1);
barss = BarsSince(newday)+1;

Count = Sum(C>O, barss);

lastCount = LastValue(Count);

todayCount = IIf( dn == LastValue(dn), Count, Null);

// plot only today
Plot( todayCount, "todayCount", colorDefault, styleHistogram );

Less code and multiple times faster.

Don't use loop here.
