How to parse signed zero?

Question

Is it possible to parse signed zero? I tried several approaches but no one gives the proper result:

float test1 = Convert.ToSingle(\"-0.0\");
float test2 = f         


        

Answer 1

You can try this:

string target = "-0.0";  
decimal result= (decimal.Parse(target,
                 System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowParentheses |
                 System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite |
                 System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite |
                 System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowThousands |
                 System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint |
                 System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign));
