Negative values

How do the <> operators deal with negative numbers?
for example;
x == -200
if x < -100
is the answer true or false?

Sorry if I have not explained this clearly.
I suppose I am asking is -200 a greater or lesser value than -100 ?

You mean as in if you owe $200 is that more or less than owing $100? Draw a line on a piece of paper. Put a mark at 0. Put a mark at -100, Put a mark at -200. Which mark is leftmost (smallest)?

So -200 is less than -100 (as seen by the operators)?

Think of negative numbers as being LESS positive than 0.
