    i need my program to not go negative
    Use an if statement to test if the value will go negative BEFORE changing the value.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    From your data:
    if(4 > 2) don't do it
    else do it

    If (user's number < 0) tell the user its wrong and ask for another number
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Can you be more descriptive of "the problem"? You have been talking about 2 different problems.
    Which one are you currently working on?
