DETAILS:

count_num_in_array()
Typically, we use loops for counting how many values an array contains. With count_num_in_array(), we don't use a loop, but the build-in functions array.sort(), array.includes(), array.lastindexof() and array.indexof()
This should give us better performance due to using less loops
-> Seen on chart at right label: 4 is x times in array -> 2, from array (3, 4, 3, 0, 1 , 2, 3, 4)

get_()
array.get() can only be used with a positive index, indexes as -1, -2, ... are not allowed.
For the ones who want to, the get_() function is able to use negative indexes
-> Seen on chart at right label: array.get(-3) -> 2, from array (3, 4, 3, 0, 1 , 2, 3, 4)

sumAllNumbers_till_under_10()
There are people who believe in the power of certain numbers between 0 and 9, they count every digit until they end up with a number between 0 and 9
For example -> count every digit of 123456 -> 1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21, if the sum is higher then 9, repeat -> 2+1 = 3
It was not so easy to create a function which uses as less string manipulation as possible (more string manupulation is greater risk for memory errors)
I finally ended up with sumAllNumbers_till_under_10()
-> Seen on chart at right label: Sum digits of close price until number < 10.


XYaxis(), calculate_slope()
Angle / slope calculation is tricky due to different units in X and Y axis (bar_index vs. price)
Also, certain techniques give very different result when comparing historical data, due to price fluctuations.
With the techniques in XYaxis() and calculate_slope() I tried to create angles / slopes which are rather similar on all bars.
Importantly, XYaxis() always needs to be placed globally, calculate_slope() can be placed locally.
The XYratio can be useful for finetuning, since every user has other habits regarding zooming in on the chart. Zooming in/out doesn't
change bars/price, but it does change our angle perspective. Therefore XYratio can be very useful (for example as input.float(3, '', minval=0, maxval=10))
-> Seen on chart as purple lines + labels with slope/angle
