# Sign

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Sign node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It outputs −1, 0 or +1 depending on the input's sign — turning values into clean directional multipliers.

This Node checks the existing algebraic symbols of the input numeric values and outputs a fitting multiplier. Values smaller than 0 will produce an output of -1, values greater than 0 will output +1. Only if the input value is 0 will 0 also be output.
