template< class Integer > bool signbit( Integer num ); | (A) | (since C++11) (constexpr since C++23) |
num is negative. The library provides overloads for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter num. (since C++23)
double
| num | - | floating-point or integer value |
true if num is negative, false otherwise.
This function detects the sign bit of zeroes, infinities, and NaNs. Along with std::copysign, std::signbit is one of the only two portable ways to examine the sign of a NaN.
The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std::signbit(num) has the same effect as std::signbit(static_cast<double>(num)).
#include <cmath>

}Output:
