the result will be in negative.

Negative numbers move in the opposite direction to positive numbers, so adding a positive one will actually make the number beside the negative sign smaller by one. For example, -3 + 1 = -2 or -21 + 1 = -20. The only time the answer will not be a negative number is when you add one to negative one. -1 + 1 = 0.
