Hi all,

Is there a command that allows a user to instantly change the sign of an integer to it's positive or negative counterpart? I.e. a command that changes a number like -10 to 10?

Thanks Jim,

that is how I'm calculating the sign at the moment. I was just wondering, since there is a RandomSign() function, if there was a command-equivalent of the calculation.

edit: a bit off-topic, but since it was you that answered: thank you very much for making AppGameKit for Pascal. I'm currently programming in Tier 1, but I loved programming in Turbo Pascal during my early twenties. I should pick it up once more.
