Formally, the difference between two numbers, x and y, is abs(x - y) which is never negative. If the two numbers are the same then the difference is 0 else it is positive. If you define the difference as x - y then it is positive if x > y, 0 if x = y and negative if x < y.
There is difference between positive and negative numbers in Maths and Arithmetic.In positive numbers we can put least to greatest from left to right where left is least and extreme right is greatest . In negative numbers its vice versa.
