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

Added:

Pine Script®

Gives the last day of the month of a certain day, for example you want to know on which day is the last SUNDAY, or TUESDAY, or ...
Just import the library, for example:

Pine Script®

The optional 'adj' can be used on certain pairs (forex for example) where the start of the week is Sunday, and not Monday
For example, on the EURUSD pair you can add 1 as 'adj':

Pine Script®

lastSundayOfMonth(DAY, adj)
  lastSundayOfMonth(): Shows last x day of the month
  Parameters:
    DAY (string)
    adj (int): (optional): add/subtract 1 when needed (for example on FOREX pairs)
  Returns: int (day of month)
