OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

Follow @zzr0ck3r 's post. That is the general rule.

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

|dw:1392851259536:dw| No (-) number i am not sure how @zzr0ck3r got5 that

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

@javierx its not the opposite of whats on the inside, its the "positive version" |-2| = 2 |2| = 2 |-4|=4 |4| = 4 ....

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

also, use |2| not {2}, they mean two completely different things.

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):
