Detecting if a numerical value is negative

[BALA]

I think this is a pretty simple question, but I can't find the answer by searching since "negative number" seems to be too vague of a search criteria. Anyway, I would like to know how I would be able to tell if a numerical value in a variable is negative.

Example:

$a = -4 ; how can I tell if this is negativeoÝ÷ Ø@ÈL¬¶·,Þt(ºWn±æ®¶­sdbb33c¶fÇC²FVà

I can't believe I made such an overlook, sorry about that.

Just realized I could use

Or you can do this:

$Num = -4
If _IsNegativeNum($Num) Then MsgBox(0, "", "The number < " & $Num & " > is negative!")

Func _IsNegativeNum($Num)
    Return StringInStr($Num, "-")
EndFuncoÝ÷ Øêæi¼­+zÛ^­«­¢+ØÀÌØí9Õ´ô´Ð)%}%Í9Ñ¥Ù9Õ´ ÀÌØí9Õ´¤Q¡¸5Í   ½à À°ÅÕ½ÐìÅÕ½Ðì°ÅÕ½ÐíQ¡¹ÕµÈ±ÐìÅÕ½ÐìµÀìÀÌØí9Õ´µÀìÅÕ½ÐìÐì¥Ì¹Ñ¥ÙÌÌìÅÕ½Ðì¤()Õ¹}%Í9Ñ¥Ù9Õ´ ÀÌØí9Õ´¤(%%MÑÉ¥¹1Ð ÀÌØí9Õ´°Ä¤ôÅÕ½Ðì´ÅÕ½ÐìQ¡¸($%IÑÕɸÄ(%±Í($%IÑÕɸÀ(%¹%)¹Õ¹

If you didn't wanted the

If $a < 0 Then

Then you could use this

If $a == Abs($a) Then

;Positive

Else

;Negative

EndIf
