x can be a scalar number, a fixed-point number, an array or cluster of numbers, an array of clusters of numbers, and so on. x cannot be an unsigned integer, because unsigned integers represent only non-negative integers.

-x is the negative value of x. Note  You can manually configure this function to output data of a type you want. To specify the output data type, right-click the function and select Properties to display the Object Properties dialog box. On the Output Configuration page, click the Representation icon and select the data type you want. A blue coercion dot appears on the output terminal of the function to indicate that you have configured the output data type.
