BdS misunderstands Fermat's Last Theorem

I am trying to prove 0 is both a positive and negative integer with those calculations.
If 0 is both a positive and negative integer then the answers are:
This is BdS's answers.
1 - 1 = 0
10 - 12 = 0

-1 - -1 = 0
-10 - -12 = 0
Those sums are obviously wrong.

10 - 12 = -2

-10 - -12 = 2
 
This is for the positive integers.
1 - 1 = 0
I agree with this, but is zero a positive integer?
No, 0 is neither positive nor negative.

10 - 12 = -2
In the full integer range that is the correct answer, but -2 is not a positive integer.
Correct

This is for the negative integers.
-1 - -1 = 0
I agree with this, but is zero a negative integer?
See my first reply.
-10 - -12 = 2

Correct. 2 is the answer.

Then you are saying your time.
If 0 is both a positive and negative integer then the answers are:
This is BdS's answers.
1 - 1 = 0. Right
10 - 12 = 0. Wrong

-1 - -1 = 0 right
-10 - -12 = 0 wrong

If 0 is not a positive or negative integer then the answers are:
This is rpenner's answers, I think?
1 - 1 = 1
10 - 12 = 1

-1 - -1 = -1
-10 - -12 = -1
I can assure you that is not the answers rpenner got, he can do arithmetic.

Which are the correct answers? I dont know.
The correct answers are the ones I gave earlier.

Read the link I provided if you are having problems
 
Zero is both a non-negative and non-positive integer, but it isn't negative or positive.

The list of non-negative integers include zero (0 +1 +2 +3 ...), just like the list of non-positive integers include zero (0 -1 -2 -3 ...).

But neither the list of positive nor the list of negative integers include zero. Only the list of non-positive and non-negative integers include zero.

I know, then how can you say the answer to
10 - 12 = -2
is -2 when we are working in positive integers. -2 is not a positive integer...

I know, then how can you say the answer to
-10 - -12 = 2
is 2 when we are working in negative integers. 2 is not a negative integer...

No, 0 is neither positive nor negative.
I know, Im going to try make it positive and negative and see if it works.
 
If we are working in positive integers then you are limited to 1,2,3,4,5,etc... for the answer. Im trying to make it 0,1,2,3,4,5,etc... for the answer.

Which one makes more sense?
1 - 1 = 0

or

1 - 1 = 1

:?

If I have 1 and I take 1 away, then I do not have any. That means 0.
If I have 1 apple and I take away that 1 apple then, I do not have any apples. That means 0 apples.

I am sorry this is confusing you so.

You are going to have a hell of a time when you progress to guzintos!:wink:
