Unable to understand the following line of code : use of dist = 1.5*ATR(10); and inside for loop it is used as an array

Question

Here dist is a variable but inside the for loop its used as an array in afl programming

dist = 1.5*ATR(10);

for(i = 0;i < BarCount; i++ )
       {
        if( Buy[i] ) PlotText( "Buy\n@" + C[ i ], i, L[ i ]-dist[i], colorGreen );
        if( Sell[i] ) PlotText( "Sell\n@" + C[ i ], i, H[ i ]+dist[i], colorRed,
        colorYellow );
        }

There's already a good write up about arrays on Amibrokers website [link](https://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_understandafl.html) — Ceres, Nov 02 '20 at 16:42
