A positive number will always be greater than a negative number. If two integers have the same sign, and this sign is negative, then the lower number in absolute value will be the highest. If two integers have positive signs, the larger number will be the highest. If one of the numbers is zero and the other number is negative, then zero will always be the higher number. If one of the numbers is zero, and the other number is positive, the positive number wil always be highest. And just a reminder, for any number n, the absolute value of n, often written |n| , we have |n|=n if n is greater than or equal to zero and |n|= negative n if n is less than zero. For example, |3|=3 |-3|= -(-3)=3

What are all integers that are greater than zero?
