How do I add 1 or 2 to a global variable?

[Rocket130713]

hello,

In EFS how do I add the number 1 or 2 to a global variable?

Here is the code I'm using:

// Declaring Global Variables
var EntryBarNo=0;
var BarsSinceEntry=0;

function main() {

BarsSinceEntry = getCurrentBarCount() - EntryBarNo + 1 ;

return null;

}

EntryBarNo is the bar number recorded at the exact time of order entry.

Also, a second question is: Is it ok when declaring global variables to set them to 0 so that when the program first starts it assigns a value of zero to the variable. Is this ok?

If you could please let me know what I am doing wrong that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

regarding my previous question, to add 1 to a variable i used this:

Var1 = 1 + Close(0);

and this worked.

however, Var1 = Close(0) + 1; does not work.

my question is: Is the first way of doing it stable? or can doing it this way cause problems?

thanks in advance.

Var1 = 1 + Close(0);
and this worked.
however, Var1 = Close(0) + 1; does not work.

FWIW both methods will work and return the same result (see enclosed screenshot)
