    Mathematical Question

    Basically, say we have

    int A;
    int B;
    int C;

    What I want is...

    the higher A, the less B is, but how much less depends on C. So, if C was 100, and A was 1, then B would be 100. But if C was 100, and A was 100, B would be 1 (for all the consecutive numbers)

    Can anyone help?

    by your explanation, I don't even see how C fits into the equation. From what I read, you just want

    A = 1, B = 100
    A = 2, B = 99
    ....etc.

    How does C fit into that?

    C doesn't = D

    That's basically what I want... The higher A, the less B...

    Then is this what you want?

    B = 101 - A;

    If A is 1 then B will be 100
    If A is 2 then B will be 99
    etc etc.

    B is inversely proportional to A. So
    B=C/A.
