## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var signbit = require( '@stdlib/number/float64/base/signbit' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### signbit( x )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns a `boolean` indicating if the sign bit for a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754] is on (`true`) or off (`false`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var bool = signbit( 4.0 );
|
||
|
// returns false
|
||
|
|
||
|
bool = signbit( -9.14e-307 );
|
||
|
// returns true
|
||
|
|
||
|
bool = signbit( 0.0 );
|
||
|
// returns false
|
||
|
|
||
|
bool = signbit( -0.0 );
|
||
|
// returns true
|
||
|
```
