TimeSpan.UnaryNegation(TimeSpan) Operator

Definition

Namespace:

System

Assemblies:

netstandard.dll, System.Runtime.dll

Source:

TimeSpan.cs

Returns a TimeSpan whose value is the negated value of the specified instance.

C#

public static TimeSpan operator -(TimeSpan t);

Parameters

t

TimeSpan

The time interval to be negated.

Returns

TimeSpan

An object that has the same numeric value as this instance, but the opposite sign.

Exceptions

OverflowException

The negated value of this instance cannot be represented by a TimeSpan; that is, the value of this instance is TimeSpan.MinValue.

Examples

The following example applies the UnaryNegation operator to several TimeSpan objects.

C#

// Example of the TimeSpan.Duration( ) and TimeSpan.Negate( ) methods,
// and the TimeSpan Unary Negation and Unary Plus operators.
using System;

class DuraNegaUnaryDemo
{
    const string dataFmt = "{0,22}{1,22}{2,22}" ;

    static void ShowDurationNegate( TimeSpan interval )
    {
        // Display the TimeSpan value and the results of the 
        // Duration and Negate methods.
        Console.WriteLine( dataFmt, 
            interval, interval.Duration( ), interval.Negate( ) );
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(
            "This example of TimeSpan.Duration( ), " +
            "TimeSpan.Negate( ), \nand the TimeSpan Unary " +
            "Negation and Unary Plus operators \n" +
            "generates the following output.\n" );
        Console.WriteLine( dataFmt, 
            "TimeSpan", "Duration( )", "Negate( )" );
        Console.WriteLine( dataFmt, 
            "--------", "-----------", "---------" );

        // Create TimeSpan objects and apply the Unary Negation
        // and Unary Plus operators to them.
        ShowDurationNegate( new TimeSpan( 1 ) );
        ShowDurationNegate( new TimeSpan( -1234567 ) );
        ShowDurationNegate( 
            + new TimeSpan( 0, 0, 10, -20, -30 ) );
        ShowDurationNegate( 
            + new TimeSpan( 0, -10, 20, -30, 40 ) );
        ShowDurationNegate( 
            - new TimeSpan( 1, 10, 20, 40, 160 ) );
        ShowDurationNegate( 
            - new TimeSpan( -10, -20, -30, -40, -50 ) );
    } 
} 

/*
This example of TimeSpan.Duration( ), TimeSpan.Negate( ),
and the TimeSpan Unary Negation and Unary Plus operators
generates the following output.

              --------           -----------             ---------

Remarks

The equivalent method for this operator is TimeSpan.Negate()
