numpy.signbit(array, out = None, where = True, casting = ‘same_kind’, order = ‘K’, dtype = None) : This mathematical function helps user to element - wise check whether the signbit is set or not.
Parameters : array : [array_like]Input array or object whose elements, we need to check. out : [ndarray, optional]Output array with same dimensions as Input array, placed with result. **kwargs : Allows you to pass keyword variable length of argument to a function. It is used when we want to handle named argument in a function. where : [array_like, optional]True value means to calculate the universal functions(ufunc) at that position, False value means to leave the value in the output alone. Return : True, if sign-bit is set; else False.

# Python program illustrating 
# signbit() method 

import numpy as np 

arr = [1, -23, +34, 11]
print ("arr : ", arr)

print ("\nCheck for signbit : ", np.signbit(arr))

out_arr = np.arange(4)
print ("\nout_arr : ", out_arr)

np.signbit(arr, out = out_arr)

print ("\nplacing signbit check values to out_arr : ", out_arr)
Output :
arr :  [1, -23, 34, 11]

Check for signbit :  [False  True False False]

out_arr :  [0 1 2 3]

placing signbit check values to out_arr :  [0 1 0 0]
