[q-lang-users] Why Does This Happen?

[<lg...@in...>]

People:

I defined the following function in Qpad:

mysign X =3D cond (X>0,1; X=3D0,0; X<0,-1) ;

When I run it:

=3D=3D> mysign 4
1

=3D=3D> mysign 0
0

=3D=3D> mysign -1
mysign-1


Why does mysign -1 produce mysign-1, instead of -1?

Thanks,

Larry Gregg
