Is minus zero (-0) equivalent to zero (0) in C#

Question

Is minus zero (-0) equivalent to zero (0) in C#?

Answer 1

For Decimals, there are at least 4 types of zeros:

Decimal zero = Decimal.Zero;
Decimal negativeZero1 = new Decimal(0, 0, 0, true, 0);
Decimal negativeZero2 = -0.0m;
Decimal negativeZero3 = Decimal.Negate(Decimal.Zero);

While all are equal and printed out as "0", they have different bit representation:

zero:          {0x00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 }
negativeZero1: {0x00000000 00000000 00000000 80000000 }
negativeZero2: {0x00000000 00000000 00000000 80010000 }
negativeZero3: {0x00000000 00000000 00000000 80000000 }
