Python Program to Check if a number is positive or negative

Python program to check if a number is positive or negative has been shown here. A number n is said to be positive if it is greater than 0 i.e. n > 0 and it is considered as negative if it is less than 0 i.e. n < 0. If n = 0 then it is neither positive nor negative.

The following sections cover the Python program to determine if a number is positive or negative by using the above logic.

// $n$ is an input number//

1. If $n\gt0$, then Return Positive else

2. If $n=0$, then Return Neither positive nor negative else

3. Return Negative

# take input of number
n = int(input("Enter the number = "))

# check if n is postive or negative
if n > 0:
    print(n, "is positive")
else:
    if n == 0:
        print(n, "is neither positive nor negative")
    else:
        print(n, "is negative")

Output

Case 1:

Enter the number = -5

-5 is negative

Case 2:

Enter the number = 7

7 is positive

Case 3:

Enter the number = 0

0 is neither positive nor negative
