Hi vgersh99,

I saw this post and I wonder if I have an associative array for calculate an operation; how abs would work in this case.

Assume;

I have
count[$1]=$2-$1;

If I apply the one you suggested in earlier post,

can it be turned to;

count[$1]= ($4-$5)*(0.05);
if(count[$1]>=0){
count[$1]=count[$1];}
else
count[$1]=0-count[$1];


Please advise. Really hope to hear from you soon! Thanks

-Jason
