Re: Negative integers

I managed to change my dataflow so that an earlier test rules out the possibility of a zero there. Still, thank you for the fast answers, this is my first time using the forum. Hopefully I will be able to be on the question answering end before too long. thanks again, john -- http://mail.python.o

Negative integers

2008-08-20 Thread johnewing
I am trying to figure out how to test if two numbers are of the same sign (both positive or both negative). I have tried abs(x) / x == abs(y) / y but that fails when one of the numbers is 0. I'm sure that there is an easy way to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailm
