Help!!!

I am writing a function that takes a value from an input box writes it to a variable and converts it to a negative number using the *(-1)and then does some calculations on it if certain conditions are true. However if other conditions are true I need to convert the variable back to a positive number to do some more different calculations to cover some different conditions. How do I convert the variable back to a positive number at this point, without affecting my first if statement.

When you first use it you save it and use a local variable for the first part.

Code:

function test(Main, Condition)
{
  var iMain = Main * (-1);
  //Calculations;
  if (Condition)
  {
    iMain = Main;
  }
  var iNew = iMain * 2;  //Or whatever
}

Hope this still isn't those quadratics...
