本地程序员版本。行为对于小端系统是正确的。

bool IsPositive(int number)
{
   bool result = false;
   IntPtr memory = IntPtr.Zero;
   try
   {
       memory = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(4);
       if (memory == IntPtr.Zero)
           throw new OutOfMemoryException();

       Marshal.WriteInt32(memory, number);

       result = (Marshal.ReadByte(memory, 3) & 0x80) == 0;
   }
   finally
   {
       if (memory != IntPtr.Zero)
           Marshal.FreeHGlobal(memory);
   }
   return result;
}

永远不要用这个。

    public static bool IsPositive<T>(T value)
        where T : struct, IComparable<T>
    {
        return value.CompareTo(default(T)) > 0;
    }

num < 0 // number is negative

bool positive = number > 0;
bool negative = number < 0;

这是行业标准:

int is_negative(float num)
{
  char *p = (char*) malloc(20);
  sprintf(p, "%f", num);
  return p[0] == '-';
}

对于32位有符号整数，例如System。Int32，也就是c#中的int:

bool isNegative = (num & (1 << 31)) != 0;
