[DUG] Maths problem for the day

[Colin/Mina]

That was my point, the original describes exactly what was intended. One liners generally don't and tend to introduce errors

  Darn, I got carried away... it's not quite that straightforward (unless your algorithm can be adjusted accordingly).

  Convert the following into one line.

   

  if High(Files) < 30 then Max := Bias.Position

  else if High(Files) < 300 then Max := Bias.Position*2

  else if High(Files) < 3000 then Max := Bias.Position*3

  else if High(Files) < 30000 then Max := Bias.Position*4

  etc

   

  I think there must be a way. Probably using the Power function, but I can't get my head around it.
