A and B are positive numbers.
Therefore, A - B results in...?
Let's define the two numbers as 1 and 2.
Now let's place them in an exercise:
2-1=1
The result is positive!
Now let's define the numbers in reverse as 2 and 1.
Let's place an equal exercise and see:
1-2=-1
The result is negative!
We can see that the solution of the exercise depends on the absolute value of the numbers, and which one is greater than the other,
Even if both numbers are positive, the subtraction operation between them can lead to a negative result.
