Hi Avery.

There are a few steps to think about in order to answer this question correctly:

1. Declare two int variables. -- This depends on the language you're using, but should be something you can quickly Google how to do if you don't already know how.
2. Test whether a number is negative or positive -- How would you test this? Hint: What makes a number negative or positive? Once you answer that, use a numerical comparison operator to answer the question ( like '<', '>', etc.) Bonus: Is 0 a positive number?
3. Use boolean operators to answer the question. -- How would you break down the question using boolean logic? (such as a logical AND or logical OR operator, etc.)
