operator unary- abstract method
The negation of this value.
The negation of a number is a number of the same kind
(int
or double
) representing the negation of the
numbers numerical value (the result of subtracting the
number from zero), if that value exists.
Negating a double gives a number with the same magnitude
as the original value (number.abs() == (-number).abs()
),
and the opposite sign (-(number.sign) == (-number).sign
).
Negating an integer, -number
, is equivalent to subtracting
it from zero, 0 - number
.
(Both properties generally also hold for the other type, but with a few edge case exceptions).
Implementation
num operator -();
