negative¶

paddle. negative ( x: Tensor, name: str | None = None ) → Tensor [source]

Returns the negated version of the input Tensor. This is used in Tensor.__neg__, applying the unary - operator to the tensor.

\[Out = -X\]

Parameters

• x (Tensor) – The input tensor. The tensor cannot be of type bool.

• name (str|None, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

A tensor with the same shape and data type as the input tensor. The returned tensor

is the negative.

Return type

Tensor

Examples

>>> import paddle
>>> x = paddle.to_tensor([-1, 0, 1])
>>> out = paddle.negative(x)
>>> print(out)
Tensor(shape=[3], dtype=int64, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
[1,  0,  -1])
