# init(signOf:magnitudeOf:)

Creates a new floating-point value using the sign of one value and the magnitude of another.

## Declaration

```swift
init(signOf sign: Float, magnitudeOf mag: Float)
```

## Discussion

Discussion The following example uses this initializer to create a new Double instance with the sign of a and the magnitude of b: let a = -21.5 let b = 305.15 let c = Double(signOf: a, magnitudeOf: b) print(c) // Prints "-305.15" This initializer implements the IEEE 754 copysign operation.
