>>I can't think of a case where -A+B != B-A. Can you give us an example?
Here is an Ada program to answer your question :-)
(probably you can read this even if you don't know Ada :-)
with Text_IO; use Text_IO;
procedure k is
a : float := -0.0;
b : float := +0.0;
begin
Put_Line (Float'Image (b - a));
Put_line (Float'Image (-b + a));
end;
The output of this is
0.00000E+00
-0.00000E+00
This minus zero stuff is tricky!
