Checking a number for positive or negative value

[sonic]

I am fairly new to C++. I was wondering how would one go about checking to see if a value entered by the user was negative or positive. Is this something you might use modulo(%) math for?

Thank you for any that may respond.

sonic-

A check to see if an integer is negative is the same that you would do logically - is it less than zero?

if (x < 0) {
cout << "It's negative!" << endl;
}

Modulus is a bit different, it's an actual function, and it is the remainder after division, so if you do x % 5, it would be the remaind3er after 5 was divided into x.

hey there,
try the following code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
using namespace std;

void main()
{
int x;
cout<<"Enter value"<<endl;
cin>>x;
if(x<0)
{
cout<<"Number Negative"<<endl;
}
else
{
if(x>0)
{
cout<<"Number Positive"<<endl;
}
}
else 
cout<<"Number Equal to Zero"<<endl;
return 0;
}
}
