A very simple programming question

[pstrusi]

Hi ninjas,

As we know, in programming you can set this sentence ( typical counters in looping )

for (int x = 0; x < 100; x++)
{
Print("NinjaTrader");
}

Where the new value of X is updated adding 1 to the old value. Giving this property, I'd like to do this but being sure that I ain't gonna get any dynamical error:

T= Math.Sign( T )

Is gonna this sentence set the new value of T, calculating the sign for the old T value?

[pstrusi]

can anybody of support team answer my basic question ?

Hello,

The statement T= Math.Sign( T ); is valid assuming T is a valid input

You can see the outcome by doing something like this

Print(T);
T= Math.Sign( T );
Print(T);

I don't know that I fully understand your question, but the above would have a similar result as doing something like

T = T+28;//sets the new value of T to the current value + 28

Thanks Lance. I just wanted to be sure that this assignment will be like this using that math function.
