Short answer: Yes. Long answer: it depends on the order. If x is negative and y is positive, then x-y<0; y-x>0 (this second one is only correct if |y|<>|x|). And if |y|=|x| then y-x=0 (this is the one you're looking for, where x and y are equal, but y is positive and x is negative). Finally, if you know if |y|=|x| or |y|<>|x| then y-x>=0
