Neg

NegResult = Neg(InputValue)

Parameters:     InputValue = The value to be negated

Returns:     NegResult = The value converted to negative

The Neg() function takes a positive integer or floating point value and will negate it. If the value is already negative, Neg() returns this value unchanged. FACTS:       * The NEG function performs is the opposite of the ABS function, where ABS returns a positive value, NEG always returns a negative.       * Note: You can also negate a variable / function result by placing the - symbol in front of it or by multiplying it by -1. See example bellow. Mini Tutorial:    ; Assign the variable SPEED the positive integer value of 10   Speed = 10    ; Print Speed Negated using NEG()   Print Neg(Speed)    ; Print Speed Negated by applying a negative sign   Print -Speed    ; Display what neg does to a range of values   For lp=-5 To 5      Print Neg(lp)   Next    ; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key   Sync   WaitKey    This example would output.      -10.0   -10   -5.0   -4.0   -3.0   -2.0   -1.0   0.0   -1.0   -2.0   -3.0   -4.0   -5.0
