The negated() method of Temporal.Duration instances returns a new Temporal.Duration object with the negated value of this duration (all fields keep the same magnitude, but sign becomes reversed).

Syntax

js
negated()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A new Temporal.Duration object, where all fields have the same magnitude as this duration, but the sign is reversed (positive fields become negative, and vice versa).

Examples

Using negated()

js
const d1 = Temporal.Duration.from({ hours: 1, minutes: 30 });
const d2 = Temporal.Duration.from({ hours: -1, minutes: -30 });

console.log(d1.negated().toString()); // "-PT1H30M"
console.log(d2.negated().toString()); // "PT1H30M"
