The documentation for
INumber<T>.Sign
method incorrectly stated that when the input value is zero, it returnsINumberBase<TSelf>.Zero
. However, the actual behavior is that it returns the integer value0
(Int32).Changes Made
xml/System.Numerics/INumber
1.xmlto correctly state that zero inputs return
0instead of referencing
INumberBase.Zero`Before
After
This aligns with the method's actual return type of
System.Int32
and matches the behavior documented in the code examples showing thatMath.Sign()
returns integer values (0, 1, -1).Fixes #11207.
