Each word detected as "positive" or "negative" in your article has a score (above 0 for positive, below 0 for negative.) Usually some words have more impact than others (so where stupid may be -2 bad may be -3).

The "score" is going to be all your values added up. So if you had words that were -3, +2, +2 your score would be +1. It has no upper or limit bounds because the scores are just added up.

The "comparative" is the sum of the negatives compared to the sum of the positives, so it will range from -100% (completely negative) to 100% (totally positive).
