# isNegativeNumber > Test if a value is a number having a negative value.
## Usage ```javascript var isNegativeNumber = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-negative-number' ); ``` #### isNegativeNumber( value ) Tests if a `value` is a `number` having a negative value. ```javascript var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' ); var bool = isNegativeNumber( -5.0 ); // returns true bool = isNegativeNumber( new Number( -5.0 ) ); // returns true bool = isNegativeNumber( -3.14 ); // returns true bool = isNegativeNumber( 5.0 ); // returns false bool = isNegativeNumber( null ); // returns false ``` #### isNegativeNumber.isPrimitive( value ) Tests if a `value` is a primitive `number` having a negative value. ```javascript var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' ); var bool = isNegativeNumber.isPrimitive( -3.0 ); // returns true bool = isNegativeNumber.isPrimitive( new Number( -3.0 ) ); // returns false ``` #### isNegativeNumber.isObject( value ) Tests if a `value` is a `Number` object having a negative value. ```javascript var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' ); var bool = isNegativeNumber.isObject( -3.0 ); // returns false bool = isNegativeNumber.isObject( new Number( -3.0 ) ); // returns true ```
## Examples ```javascript var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' ); var isNegativeNumber = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-negative-number' ); var bool = isNegativeNumber( -5.0 ); // returns true bool = isNegativeNumber( new Number( -5.0 ) ); // returns true bool = isNegativeNumber( -3.14 ); // returns true bool = isNegativeNumber( 0.0 ); // returns false bool = isNegativeNumber( 5.0 ); // returns false bool = isNegativeNumber( '-5' ); // returns false bool = isNegativeNumber( null ); // returns false ```
