C# Program to Check if a number is positive or negative

C# program to check if a number is positive or negative has been shown here. A number n is said to be positive if it is greater than 0 i.e. n > 0 and it is considered as negative if it is less than 0 i.e. n < 0. If n = 0 then it is neither positive nor negative.

The following sections cover the C# program to determine if a number is positive or negative by using the above logic.

// $n$ is an input number//

1. If $n\gt0$, then Return Positive else

2. If $n=0$, then Return Neither positive nor negative else

3. Return Negative

2. Pseudocode to check if a number is positive or negative

Input: A number $n$

Output: If $n$ is positive or negaive

1. Procedure positiveOrNegative($n$):

2. If $n\gt0$:

3. Return positive

4. Else:

5. If $n==0$:

6. Return Neither positive nor negative

7. Else:

8. Return negative

            //check if n is postive or negative
            if (n > 0)
                Console.WriteLine(n + " is positive");
            else {
                if (n == 0)
                    Console.WriteLine(n + " is neither positive nor negative");
                else
                    Console.WriteLine(n + " is negative");
            }

            // wait for user to press any key
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

Output

Case 1:

Enter the number = -25

-25 is negative

Case 2:

Enter the number = 37

37 is positive

Case 3:

Enter the number = 0

0 is neither positive nor negative
