    Please help me... Translate from c++ to visual basic

    can someone help me translate this into visual basic

    x = (t_x < pi)? : (x - ( sign( x ) *( 2*pi) ))

    function sign(X)
    just returns a 1 if x is positive and a -1 if it is negitive

    Looks invalid to me, since there's no return value between the ? and :.

    Sorry it should be:
    x = (t_x < pi)? x: (x - ( sign( x ) *( 2*pi) ))

    Well without knowing vb, an easier to convert syntax would be:
    Code:
    if ( !(t_x < pi) )
      x = x - sign(x) * (2 * pi);

    So it would read:

    if t_x not less then pi then x=x-sign(x) *(2*pi)

    Correct??

    Well just did a search for "vb tutorial" on google, and the first site got me enough info to give you this:
    Code:
    If t_x >= pi Then
      x = x - sign(x) * 2 * pi;
    Of course I don't have any way of testing it
