C# Printing numbers with text (minus or zero) using String.Format() method

C# String.Format() technique with Example: Here, we will figure out how to print content (less or zero) with the numbers in C#?

To print the content (less or zero) with the numbers, we can utilize String.Format() strategy for String class in C#.

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Demo for zero and negative integer number:");

            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:#;minus #}" ,  256));
            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:#;minus #}" , -256));
            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:#;minus #;zero}" ,    0));
            
            Console.WriteLine();  
        }
    }
}

Output:

Demo for zero and negative integer number:
256
minus 256
zero

In the above program, we printed the content “short 256” instead of – 256 and print “zero” instead of 0.
