zero; and 1 if the input is > 0
Syntax:
1. Sign(decimal)
2. Sign(double)
3. Sign(int16)
4. Sign(int32)
5. Sign(int64)
6. Sign(SByte)
7. Sign(Single)
1. Sign(decimal)
2. Sign(double)
3. Sign(int16)
4. Sign(int32)
5. Sign(int64)
6. Sign(SByte)
7. Sign(Single)
Parameters | Description | decimal | Any valid System.Decimal data type number 2. double – any valid System.Double data type. 3. int16 – any valid System.Int16 data type. 4. int32 – any valid System.Int32 data type. 5. int64 – any valid System.Int64 data type. 6. SByte – any valid 8-bit SByte 7. Single – any valid single floating-point 32-bit number. |
