# Negate

### Description

Negate a Scalar\<Event>

### -Number|Event

```java
-Scalar<Number|Event> : Scalar<Number>
-Vector<Number|Event> : Vector<Number>
-GroupedScalar<Number|Event> : GroupedScalar<Number>
-GroupedVector<Number|Event> : GroupedVector<Number>
```

An argument of type Scalar\<Event> prefixed by a - negates the value of the Event.

If it is a Vector, GroupedScalar or GroupedVector, then the operation is performed on each value, and results in another Vector, GroupedScalar or GroupedVector.
