The java.math.BigInteger.signum() method helps us to identify whether a BigInteger is positive or zero or negative. It returns one of the following values depending on the following conditions:
Syntax:
public int signum()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameters.
Return Value: The method returns -1, 0 or 1 as the value of this BigInteger when they are negative, zero or positive respectively.
Examples:
Input: 2300 Output: 1 Explanation: 2300 is positive number so the method returns 1 Input: -5482549 Output: -1
Below program illustrate the signum() method of BigInteger.
BigInteger 2300 is positive and Sing value is 1
