<h2>Syntax</h2>
<dl>
(minusp <i>expr</i>)
<dd><i>expr</i> - the numeric expression to check<br>
returns - <a href="t.htm"> T </a> if the number is
negative, <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> otherwise</dd>
</dl>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The 'minusp' predicate function checks to see if the number 'expr' is
negative. <a href="t.htm"> T </a> is returned if the
number is negative [less than zero], <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> is
returned otherwise. An error is generated if the
'expr' is not a numeric expression:</p>
<pre class="example">
<font color="#AA0000">error: bad argument type</font>
</pre>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<pre class="example">
(minusp 1) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL</font>
(minusp 0) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL</font>
(minusp -1) <font color="#008844">; returns T</font>
(minusp -.000000005) <font color="#008844">; returns T</font>
(minusp #xFFFFFFFF) <font color="#008844">; returns T</font>
(minusp #x01) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL</font>
(minusp 'a) <font color="#008844">; error: bad argument type</font>
(setq a -3.5) <font color="#008844">; set A to -3.5</font>
(minusp a) <font color="#008844">; returns T</font>
