When the definition symbol = is used, a dependent output map or dependent output column is created; when the assignment symbol := is used, the dependency link is immediately broken after the output map/column has been calculated.

Usable in

MapCalc, TabCalc, Simple calculators

Examples

Pocket line calculator examples:

? NEG(-12)

returns 12

? NEG(POW(-2,3))

returns 8

MapCalc example:

OutMap = NEG(InMap)

0.2 0.0 -1.0
? -0.4 -0.1
-2.0 -1.0 -0.5
-0.2 0.0 1.0
? 0.4 0.1

TabCalc example:

OutCol = NEG(InCol)
