# isNegativeInteger
> Test if a finite [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754] is a negative integer.
## Usage
```javascript
var isNegativeInteger = require( '@stdlib/math/base/assert/is-negative-integer' );
```
#### isNegativeInteger( x )
Tests if a finite [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754] is a negative `integer`.
```javascript
var bool = isNegativeInteger( -1.0 );
// returns true
bool = isNegativeInteger( 0.0 );
// returns false
bool = isNegativeInteger( 10.0 );
// returns false
```
## Notes
- The function assumes a **finite** `number`. If provided negative `infinity`, the function will return `true`, when, in fact, the result is undefined. If `x` can be `infinite`, wrap the implementation as follows:
```javascript
function check( x ) {
return (
x > -Infinity &&
isNegativeInteger( x )
);
}
var bool = check( -Infinity );
// returns false
```
## Examples
```javascript
var isNegativeInteger = require( '@stdlib/math/base/assert/is-negative-integer' );
var bool = isNegativeInteger( -5.0 );
// returns true
bool = isNegativeInteger( 0.0 );
// returns false
bool = isNegativeInteger( 1.0 );
// returns false
bool = isNegativeInteger( -3.14 );
// returns false
bool = isNegativeInteger( NaN );
// returns false
```
