      Dim xLong1 As Long = -4

      Console.WriteLine(xLong1)
      Console.WriteLine(Test(Math.Sign(xLong1)))

   End Sub 

   Public Shared Function Test([compare] As Integer) As [String]
      If [compare] = 0 Then
         Return "equal to"
      ElseIf [compare] < 0 Then
         Return "less than"
