This method is used to get the result of multiplying the specified Decimal value by negative one.
Syntax: public static decimal Negate (decimal a); Parameter: a: This parameter specifies the decimal which will be converted. Return Value: A decimal number with the value of a, but the opposite sign. But zero, if a is zero.
Below programs illustrate the use of
Decimal.Negate(Decimal) Method:
Example 1:When a is positive
csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.Negate(Decimal) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
// Declaring the decimal variable
Decimal a = 127.97m;
// using Negate() method;
Decimal value = Decimal.Negate(a);
// Display the negative value
Console.WriteLine("The negative value "+
"is : {0}", value);
}
}
Output:
The negative value is : -127.97Example 2:
When a is negative
csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.Negate(Decimal) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
// Declaring the decimal variable
Decimal a = -12.39m;
// using Negate() method;
Decimal value = Decimal.Negate(a);
// Display the value after
// using negate method
Console.WriteLine("The value is : {0}",
value);
}
}
Output:
The value is : 12.39Example 3:
If a is zero.
csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.Negate(Decimal) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
// Declaring the decimal variable
Decimal a = 0.00m;
// using Negate() method;
Decimal value = Decimal.Negate(a);
// Display the Negate value
Console.WriteLine("The Negate value "+
"is : {0}", value);
}
}
Output:
The Negate value is : 0.00Reference:
