Java BigDecimal is negative?

This post is part of the archive. It was written years ago, so some of the tools, versions and links may be outdated.

To check if a BigDecimal in Java is negative use the signum() method like it’s shown in the following snippet:

    public static boolean isNegative(BigDecimal b)
    {
        b.signum() == -1;
    }
