Regarding _integer_ values, 0 is conventionally neither positive nor negative; it stands alone, hence Math.signum(int): "Returns the signum function of the specified int value. (The return value is -1 if the specified value is negative; 0 if the specified value is zero; and 1 if the specified value is positive.)" Therefore, "non-negative" integers include zero while "positive" integers do not. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/27296#issuecomment-3300632544
