# numpy.negative

`numpy.``negative`(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'negative'>

  Numerical negative, element-wise.

  Parameters: | x : array_like or scalar Input array. out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs. where : array_like, optional Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone. **kwargs For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.
  Returns: | y : ndarray or scalar Returned array or scalar: y = -x.

  Examples

      >>> np.negative([1.,-1.])
      array([-1.,  1.])
