To change the sign of a number you multiply by
-10 to -0?. Zero normaly doesnt have a sign. Zero is not positive or negative, they are the same. In the task I can not see you have to do that
@markboots.
can you give me the link of that kata?
nvm, i made that one before.
for me it just work with a 0. you'll have to look at your code. there is something else going on. the 0 is not the problem
ok just a sec

🥹 beginner
basic maths. what do you do to make a number negative?

replace with a negative number
times it by -1
Any number multiplied by
-1 will give you the same number with the sign flippedi was trying to exaplin it in steps
2 * -1 = -2
-2 * -1 = 2

are you following a JS course. or are you just using codewars for fun?
am following a course started a month ago
am using codewar to practice what I have learn @markboots.
ah okay. make sure you don't do too much of them while you are still in a study stage. they can get tricky if you didnt cover all the basics yet
ok thanks for the advice @markboots.
