NEGS Function

Negates the elements in a dynamic array.

Syntax

NEGS(dynArray)

Syntax Elements

dynArray A DataBasic expression that evaluates to a dynamic array.

Return Value

A dynamic array with the same structure as dynArray, but with each numeric value replaced by its negated value. Positive values become negative, and vice versa. Zeros are unchanged.

Notes

Null elements remain null.
Non-numeric elements are replaced by 0 and a run-time error is generated (see Strings in Arithmetic Expressions).

Example

ARY = 1.5:@AM:-2.5:@AM:3.5:@AM:"Fred":@VM:7:@SVM:-20:@AM
NEWARY = NEGS(ARY)

Sets NEWARY to "-1.5AM2.5AM-3.5AM0VM-7SVM20AM" and generates run-time error B16.
