Name

signbit()
Examples 
double c = signbit(-3.5);  // Sets c to 1
double d = signbit(0.0);  // Sets d to 0
Description The signbit() function returns a nonzero value if the value of x has its sign bit set. This is not the same as x < 0.0, because IEEE 754 floating point allows zero to be signed. The comparison -0.0 < 0.0 is false, but signbit (-0.0) will return a nonzero value.
Syntax 
signbit(x)
Parameters
x double, float or int
Returns double
