They don't. There is a difference of 2. Subtract one from the other. If they have
the same value, your answer should be zero, but it will not be zero.
===================
They have the same size (also called absolute value), but not the same value.
If you owe me $1 or I owe you $1, the amount of cash involved is the same
either way, but the situations are exactly opposite.

Subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding its absolute value.
The absolute value of a number which is not negative is the same as the number.
Never. The sum of two negative numbers is a negative number with a value less than either of them, e.g. (-1) + (-2) = (-3) Adding two negative numbers is the same as adding their positive absolute values, and expressing the sum as a negative. If the two negative numbers are the same, and you subtract one from the other, the result is 0. e.g. (-2) - (-2) is the same as (-2) + 2 , which equals 0.
When the signs of the numbers are the same, the answer is positive. When the signs are different, the answer is negative. -1 x -1 = 1
the value is negative 2 alone. in other words: -2
