I have been reading the PHP manual in both Japanese and English and have reached the part about operators.
In the 代数演算子
section they talk about 加算
, 減算
etc, and have a table showing all of the 代数演算子
(you can see it here: http://www.php.net/manual/ja/language.operators.arithmetic.php)
In the Japanese version of the manual they describe -$a
as 負にする
but in the English version they use the word Negation
.
I wondered if there was a noun in Japanese to describe this, like there is 加算
to describe Addition
.
Since they use the word Negation
in the English version I thought maybe 否定
in Japanese, but I'm not sure, so if any one knows of a noun to describe this concept any help would be appreciated.
