Addition:
The sum of two integers is always another integer.
Adding two integers with the same integer result in the same integer.
Adding an integer to a larger integer results in the larger integer.
Adding an integer to a smaller integer results in the smaller integer.
Subtraction:
The difference between two integers is always another integer.
Subtracting two integers with the same integer results in the same integer.
Subtracting an integer from a larger integer results in the smaller integer.
Subtracting an integer from a smaller integer results in the larger integer.
Example:
3 + 4 = 7, since 3 + 4 = 7 and 7 is an integer.
10 - 5 = 5, since 10 - 5 = 5 and 5 is an integer.
6 + 2 = 8, since 6 + 2 = 8 and 8 is an integer.
15 - 3 = 12, since 15 - 3 = 12 and 12 is an integer.
These properties ensure that addition and subtraction are commutative, meaning that the order in which the numbers are added or subtracted does not affect the result. Additionally, these properties ensure that addition and subtraction are associative, meaning that the order in which the numbers are added or subtracted does not affect the result
