is-negative-zero
Advanced tools
The is-negative-zero npm package is a utility that provides a simple function to check if a given number is -0. In JavaScript, -0 and +0 are considered distinct values (due to IEEE 754 floating point), and this package helps in identifying if a number is specifically -0.
Check if a number is -0
This feature allows you to check if a given number is exactly -0. It returns true if the number is -0, and false otherwise. This can be particularly useful in mathematical computations and graphics programming where the distinction between -0 and +0 can have implications.
const isNegativeZero = require('is-negative-zero');
console.log(isNegativeZero(-0)); // true
console.log(isNegativeZero(0)); // false
console.log(isNegativeZero(-1)); // false
Similar to is-negative-zero, is-zero is a utility for checking if a number is 0. However, it does not distinguish between -0 and +0, making it less specific for cases where the sign of zero matters.
While not specifically designed for checking -0, lodash's isEqual function can accurately compare -0 and +0, among many other complex equality checks. It's more versatile but also much larger and more complex than is-negative-zero, which is focused solely on the -0 check.
