The minus sign character is not a standard key on keyboards but other types of dashes and hyphens are, so it is difficult to type the correct symbol for negative numbers. Oftentimes, "-" ( hyphen/ hyphen-minus) is used but should be replaced with the proper "−" (minus sign) and not "–" ( en dash) or "—" ( em dash)
