Can I relate it to you this way
Measure a length of Timber.
Starting half way along, let this be your Reference point;
otherwise known as Zero (Point).
What ever is one side is +ve,
on the other side is -ve.
How far from it is the size of the number, depending what unites you measure in.
Move the reference point [ZERO]
and you change the size of the number which are +ve,
Ditto -ve
Far from the ideal way to explainNavvi

Blocklayer, that was a good post and link.
Tell us please how you made that calculator.
Ivan, I was thinking along the lines of the Dimbleby science lectures that the British BBC does at Xmas time, they do practical/physical illustrations.woody U.K.
