The query below executes an array of independent sign operations and returns the results in an array. The result array position matches the execution array position. The first sign operation on the value 3 returns 1 for a positive number. The second operation returns zero for neither a positive nor negative number. The third sign operation on the value -3 returns -1 for a negative number.

System.out.println(
        client.query( Arr(
                Sign(Value(3)),
                Sign(Value(0)),
                Sign(Value(-3))
        )).get());
