Underscore.js _.isNegative() Method

The _.isNegative() method checks whether the given value is a Negative value or not, correspondingly returning a boolean value.

Syntax:

_.isNegative( value );

Parameters: 

  • value: Given value to be checked for Negative value.

Return Value: This method returns a Boolean value(Returns true if the given value is Negative, else false).

Example 1:

Javascript




   
// Defining underscore contrib variable
var _ = require('underscore-contrib'); 
  
// Checking
console.log("The Value is Negative : " 
    + _.isNegative(-200020)); 


Output:

The Value is Negative : true

Example 2:

Javascript




   
// Defining underscore contrib variable
var _ = require('underscore-contrib'); 
  
// Checking
console.log("The Value is Negative : " 
    + _.isNegative(1000000)); 


Output:

The Value is Negative : false

Example 3: For string containing negative values, this method returns true.

Javascript




   
// Defining underscore contrib variable
var _ = require('underscore-contrib'); 
  
// Checking
console.log("The Value is Negative : " 
    + _.isNegative("-1")); 


Output:
