Description Of BigInteger: signum()
The
java.math.BigInteger.signum() returns the signum function of this BigInteger
BigInteger.signum() method returns -1, 0 or 1 as the value of this BigInteger is negative, zero or positive
Code Example Java BigInteger
import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerExam {
public static void main(String[] args) {
BigInteger bi1 = new BigInteger("0");
BigInteger bi2 = new BigInteger("10");
BigInteger bi3 = new BigInteger("-10");
// assign signum results of bi1, bi2, bi3 to i1, i2, i3
int i1 = bi1.signum();
int i2 = bi2.signum();
int i3 = bi3.signum();
// print i1, i2, i3 values
System.out.println(i1);
System.out.println(i2);
System.out.println(i3);
}
}
