The position of an object is always expressed w.r.t. some reference point. If the initial position
of an object w.r.t. a reference point is 
and after sometime, it changes to 
, then the magnitude of the displacement of the object is 
. If the value of 
is greater than 
, then the displacement is positive, but if the value of 
is less than 
, then the displacement is negative.
So, its displacement is zero (
