What are two mathods of comparing numbers?
One option for comparing two numbers is to subtract the first
number from the second number. If the result is less than zero, the
first number is larger. If the result is greater than zero, the
second number is larger. If the result is zero, the numbers are
equal.
Another option (for positive numbers) would be to divide the
first number by the second number. If the result is greater than
one, the first number is larger. If the result is less than one,
the second number is larger. If the result is one, the numbers are
equal. This rule flips if you are comparing negative numbers.
