Java BigDecimal.negate() is a method in the Java BigDecimal class that returns the negation of the BigDecimal. It changes the sign of the value while preserving its precision. Introduced in Java 2004 with Java 5, negate() is widely used in financial and scientific applications when working with numbers that require inversion of their sign, such as in balance calculations or error corrections.
