Sign Reverse Operator: -

reverses the signs of elements

-matrix

The sign reverse prefix operator (-) produces a new matrix containing elements that are formed by reversing the sign of each element in matrix. A missing value is assigned if the element is missing.

For example, the statements

   a={-1  7  6,
       2  0 -8};
   b=-a;

result in the matrix

               B             2 rows      3 cols    (numeric)

                               1        -7        -6
                              -2         0         8
