shorthand c++ if else statement

  bigInt.sign = 1;

Yes:

bigInt.sign = !(number < 0);

The ! operator always evaluates to true or false. When converted to int, these become 1 and 0 respectively.

Of course this is equivalent to:

bigInt.sign = (number >= 0);

Here the parentheses are redundant but I add them for clarity. All of the comparison and relational operator evaluate to true or false.
