The sign of () block is a reporter block in the Extra Mathematics extension that reports the sign function of the inputted number, which returns -1 for negative numbers, 0 for zero, and 1 for positive numbers. The default value is 0.

Workaround

This block can be worked around by using the following:
((([abs v] of (number::grey)) / (number::grey)) + (0))
The + (0) is used to get 0 when 0 is the number, rather than NaN.
