To print the text (minus or zero) with the numbers, we can use String.Format() method of 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 text "minus 256" in place of -256 and print "zero" in place of 0.
