Java Long - signum() Method
The java.lang.Long.signum() method returns the signum function of the specified long value. (The return value is -1 if the specified value is negative; 0 if the specified value is zero; and 1 if the specified value is positive.)
Syntax
public static int signum(long i)
Parameters
i |
Specify the value whose signum is to be computed. |
Return Value
Returns the signum function of the specified long value.
Exception
NA.
Example:
In the example below, the java.lang.Long.signum() method returns the signum function of the specified long value.
import java.lang.*;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//creating long values
long x = 5;
long y = 0;
long z = -5;
//printing the signum function of the long values
System.out.println("signum function of x is: " + Long.signum(x));
System.out.println("signum function of y is: " + Long.signum(y));
System.out.println("signum function of z is: " + Long.signum(z));
}
}
The output of the above code will be:
signum function of x is: 1 signum function of y is: 0 signum function of z is: -1
