(since C99) | |
Determines if the given floating point number arg
is negative. The macro returns an integral value.
Contents |
[edit] Parameters
arg | - | floating point value |
[edit] Return value
Nonzero integral value if arg
is negative, 0 otherwise.
[edit] Notes
This macro detects the sign bit of zeroes, infinities, and NaNs. Along with copysign, this macro is one of the only two portable ways to examine the sign of a NaN.
[edit] Example
Run this code
Possible output:
signbit(+0.0) = 0 signbit(-0.0) = 128
