How to Turn a Negative ratio into a Positive

  Fractions have a top number, which is called the numerator, and a bottom number, which is known as the denominator. This combination of numbers represents how a part relates to a whole. If you have a negative number or variable in the denominator of a fraction, the fraction is not in simplest form, according to traditional mathematics. To state the fraction properly, you must take measures to convert the negative value in the denominator to a positive one.

  a=open

  b=close

  c  = (a–b)

   

  Distance = c * -1

   

   

  RETURN Distance

  Or im guesssing this might work if you do get either a positive or negative C outcome  . 

  1

  IF (C < 0) THEN Distance = C * -1 ELSE Distance = C ENDIF NEXT RETURN Distance

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  IF (C < 0) THEN                  Distance = C * -1            ELSE                  Distance = C            ENDIF NEXT   RETURN Distance
