An example showing stream operator in M2000

Operator << used here to add to a function a generator, another function to supply a stream of values. Also we see the use of Event object.

Stream operator used for arrays to feed each element, but mainly used for what we see here.

We can make some minor changes and we get a simpler version, without TankControl Group (an object in M2000), and with no Event too. Just delete Line "Group TankControl".., line "Event Probe ..", line "Call Event .Probe...", we have to delete the closing curly bracket (for deleted Group definition) before line "Class SpecificClass...", then line "Event TankControl.Probe....", and we have to change the line "For TankControl" with "For This" (so dot before alfa has a meaning This, or we through For  { } , but keeping inside all the code, because by default a single dot interpreted as This. Keep in mind that a For { } not only tag what is a dot but also make all definitions inside block for temporary use, but here we don't have that issue)

\\ we have a function to simulate a tank quantity change
\\ alfa arguments are:
\\ current tank quantity, optionally quantity (30 by default) to remove if valve is open,
\\ a flag for printing messages (false by default)
\\ and optionally we can pass  as many as we want valve states, true for open, false for closed
\\ we can use the << operator (stream operator) to send valve state
\\ we make a class and a group from that class, named Specific
\\ We can feed Specific with a pattern of valve states (a batch of patterns)
\\ We have 4 options. We can send one pattern as a batch, one time or many (2 options),
\\ or we can send one state at a time for one batch or form many.
\\ We can expand this logic, if we move function's alfa definiton in a group where we put an Event object.
\\ so we can use Event through alfa to stop Specific at some level of tank quantity
LowLevelSet=500
