# ArrayGetAsSeries
|
||||
|
||||
It checks direction of an array index.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
bool ArrayGetAsSeries(
|
||||
const void& array[] // array for checking
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
array
|
||||
|
||||
[in] Checked array.
|
||||
|
||||
Return Value
|
||||
|
||||
Returns [true](/en/docs/basis/types/integer/boolconst), if the specified array has the AS_SERIES flag set, i.e. access to the array is performed back to front as in timeseries. A [timeseries](/en/docs/series) differs from a usual array in that the indexing of timeseries elements is performed from its end to beginning (from the newest data to old).
|
||||
|
||||
Note
|
||||
|
||||
To check whether an array belongs to timeseries, use the [ArrayIsSeries()](/en/docs/array/arrayisseries) function. Arrays of price data passed as input parameters into the [OnCalculate()](/en/docs/basis/function/events#oncalculate2) function do not obligatorily have the indexing direction the same as in timeseries. The necessary indexing direction can be set using the [ArraySetAsSeries()](/en/docs/array/arraysetasseries) function.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
#property description "Indicator calculates absolute values of the difference between"
|
||||
#property description "Open and Close or High and Low prices displaying them in a separate subwindow"
