Math Function Question

[mystica]

Does anyone know how to code a simple subtraction-routine?

eg. Application performs Sting.ToNumber and stores the resulting variables as say, 10 and 7. How can I get it to then perform a subtraction-routine on these two numbers, so that that the result (ie. 3) is then held as the resulting variable?

Do-h! Found it ... knew I was asking a dumb and obvious question.

Why is it that sometimes our brains go into meltdown and miss the painfully obvious?

Please be sure to share you light bulb moment with the others who may not know how to do it. Thx

nTen=10
nSevern=7
nResult=(nTen-nSevern)

nResult contains (3)

its only easy when you know how, and Bruce is right, it helps others to if there is a answer when they search out your post 1 year from now with the same question

lol, yeah, every day!

A fair point ... will keep this in mind for next time. Thanks for the example-code of what I was talking about, MicroByte.
