80The unary <code>-</code> (minus) operator yields the negation of its
81numeric argument.
82<a id='l2h-411' xml:id='l2h-411'></a>
83
84<P>
85The unary <code>+</code> (plus) operator yields its numeric argument
86unchanged.
87<a id='l2h-412' xml:id='l2h-412'></a>
88
89<P>
90The unary <code>~</code> (invert) operator yields the bit-wise inversion
91of its plain or long integer argument. The bit-wise inversion of
92<code>x</code> is defined as <code>-(x+1)</code>. It only applies to integral
93numbers.

97In all three cases, if the argument does not have the proper type,
98a <tt class="exception">TypeError</tt> exception is raised.
