public static long negateExact(long x)  

Parameters

x Specify the value.

Return Value

Returns the negation of the argument.

Exception

Throws ArithmeticException, if the result overflows an int or a long.

Example:

In the example below, negateExact() method is used to negate the argument.

public class MyClass {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  int i = 5;
  long j = 145;
  System.out.println(Math.negateExact(i)); 
  System.out.println(Math.negateExact(j));
  System.out.println();

  int p = -2;
  long q = -150;
  System.out.println(Math.negateExact(p)); 
  System.out.println(Math.negateExact(q));
 }
}

The output of the above code will be:

-5
-145

2
150
