SIGN(x,y): Absolute of x Times Sign of y

The result is ABS(x) if y ≥ 0 and -ABS(x) if y < 0.

• • result = SIGN ( argument1, argument2)
• argument1 and argument2 are both numeric scalars
• result is ABS(argument1) if argument2 ≥ 0 and - ABS(argument1) if argument2 < 0
• • x = SIGN( 1.111, 2.222 ) ! x = 1.111
  • x = SIGN( -1.111, 2.222 ) ! x = 1.111
  • x = SIGN( 1.111, -2.222 ) ! x = -1.111
  • x = SIGN( -1.111, -2.222 ) ! x = -1.111
