returns the sign of a vector of real of complex values

Arguments

z

a vector of values on which we want to compute the sign

s

if the real part is not equal to zero:

  • +1 if the real part of an element is positive

  • -1 if the real part of an element is negative

If the real part is equal to zero:

  • +1 if the imaginary part of an element is positive

  • -1 if the imaginary part of an element is negative

if the element is equal to zero, then returns %nan
