DecimalZero

Returns zero, the same value a new Decimal starts with.

Syntax

DecimalZero( )

Examples

#import "std/money"
using money

'' Zero at scale 0.  A default-constructed Decimal is the same thing --
'' zero is the meaningful default for a number, so there is no
'' uninitialised state to guard against
dim as Decimal fresh
print DecimalZero( ).ToString( )    '' 0
print DecimalZero( ).IsZero( )      '' true
print DecimalZero( ).IsValid( )     '' true
print fresh.IsZero( )               '' true

'' A zero mantissa never carries a sign, so there is no negative zero to
'' have to compare against
print ( -DecimalZero( ) ).IsNegative( )   '' false
