Is there a suggest way to negate a number?

Is multiplying by an amount of -1 the typical way to negate a number? This works, but I am curious if I missed something in the documentation.

const d = multiply(dinero({ amount: 1000, currency: USD }), { amount: -1 });

Hey @johnhooks, multiplying by -1 is indeed the recommended way to negate a Dinero object.

However, you don't have to use a scaled amount for this since -1 is an integer:

const d = multiply(dinero({ amount: 1000, currency: USD }), 1);

Awesome, thank you. Though I think you may have meant this?

const d = multiply(dinero({ amount: 1000, currency: USD }), -1);

Correct! It's been a long week 😁
