Can you explain the question and the contect in detail? Did you know &quot;0-1=?&quot; ?

Can you explain the question and the contect in detail? Did you know "0-1=?" ?

<div>
Can you tell us why that question was asked? Surely, there must be something else.

It'd be most interesting to know why any answer other than &quot;-1&quot; would be expected and what that expected answer would be.<br />

Maths Calculations

The Math / Science topic primarily includes discussions of mathematics, physics, statistics and economic analysis, but also biology, chemistry and other sciences.

Math / Science

An algorithm is a self-contained step-by-step set of operations to be performed. Algorithms exist that perform calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty), the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output" and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input.
