[Solved] Better way to write this ?

[Ardenian]

Is there a better way, a one-line way to write this ?

function xyz takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer a
    local integer b
    local integer c

    if a > b then
        set c = 1
    elseif a < b then
        set c = -1
    endif

endfunction

with a never == b

I thought about something like set c = ISignBJ(<?>),
but I don't know what I could set in the sign function.

set c = ISignBJ(a - b)

If (a - b) >= 0, then we know that a >= b. If (a - b) < 0, we know a < b. So that should work (c will be either 1 or -1).

Ah yes, thank you!
Sometimes I get struggled in math trying to find a super complicated solution while it is that simple..
