Is there a sign function in VEX?

[magneto]

I searched the vex reference but I couldn't find a sign function.

But I found a sign VOP:

Surely vex has a sign function too, right?

I was watching a vid where the guy said vops map 95% of vex, so it should be vops that should be lacking, not vex.

Any ideas?

Thanks

you could find all vex functions available here

And you could always check your vex code by right-clicking your VOP SOP and select "View VEX Code..."

Hohohohoho

if ($val == 0) $sign = 0;
else if ($val > 0) $sign = 1;
else $sign = -1;

from inside the sign vop

Thanks guys, I thought there would be one built-in because even hscript has one

I am pretty sure that there is a sign function inside vex because I am using on a vop sop.

Do you mean you are using the sign vop? Because I know that exists but there is no built-in sign function inside the vex language.

I wrote one similar to Macha's but thought it was weird that there is none, especially since it exists in vop.

Sorry I though you were talking about VEX VOP not the language.
