The documentation forINumber<T>.Sign method incorrectly stated that when the input value is zero, it returnsINumberBase<TSelf>.Zero. However, the actual behavior is that it returns the integer value0 (Int32).

Changes Made

• Updated the return value description inxml/System.Numerics/INumber1.xmlto correctly state that zero inputs return0instead of referencingINumberBase.Zero`

Before

<returns>A positive value if <paramrefname="value" /> is positive, <seecref="P:System.Numerics.INumberBase`1.Zero" /> if <paramrefname="value" /> is zero, and a negative value if <paramrefname="value" /> is negative.</returns>

After

<returns>A positive value if <paramrefname="value" /> is positive, <c>0</c> if <paramrefname="value" /> is zero, and a negative value if <paramrefname="value" /> is negative.</returns>

This aligns with the method's actual return type ofSystem.Int32 and matches the behavior documented in the code examples showing thatMath.Sign() returns integer values (0, 1, -1).

Fixes#11207.
