< p > The < b > SIGN< / b > function is one of the math and trigonometry functions. It is used to return the sign of a number. If the number is positive, the function returns < b > 1< / b > . If the number is negative, the function returns < b > -1< / b > . If the number is < b > 0< / b > , the function returns < b > 0< / b > .< / p >
< p > The < b > SIGN< / b > function syntax is:< / p >
