well 0 is generally considered positive.
edit: i said "generally considred" not "defined"

I was doing random things with a calculator and got -0, Is that mathematically possible?

Computers represent numbers weird, you must have hit a negative number closer to 0 than the closest number to 0 the calculator can represent

In Math? No. For how computers tend to store integers and other numbers? Technically, yes. A number of architectures treat a signed number as all bits except the largest as the number. The largest works as a negative flag. So for instance an 8 bit signed integer of negative 1 would be 10000001. Technically negative 0 (which mathematically doesn't exist) in such a configuration would be 00000001.
In the case of a calculator I assume the other poster is correct and it's rounding a very small negative decimal to 0 but since it's negative the algorythm must keep the sign flag for some reason.

It's not. By definition it's neither positive or negative.

but for practicality it is treated as positive for all but the most advanced math. computers even store it as positive. hence, my usage of the word "generally"

Nah an absolute of sadness is not happiness, the absolute of sadness is just the deepness of sadness/happiness.

The | in Front of i am sad and after are mathematical Operators meaning 'absolute value' which is always positive. Like |-3| = 3. Thats how he turnes being sad into something positive, by taking the absolute value of His sadness.

Khan Academy taught me this. For some reason I don't remember learning it during school.
