Apple Comparing lines of data

Total UNIX Rookie, but I'm learning. I have columns of integer data separated by spaces, and I'm using a Mac terminal.

What I want to do:
1. Compare "line 1 column 2" (x) to "line 2 column 2" (y); is y-x>=100?
2. If yes, display difference and y's line number
3. If no, increment x and y by one and repeat

How I am going about it:
Code:
sed -n '1,2 p' datafile | cut -d' ' -f1 #gives me the two fields of interest

Where do I go from here?

NAME
git-column - Display data in columns SYNOPSIS
git column [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>] [--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>] DESCRIPTION
This command formats its input into multiple columns. OPTIONS
--command=<name> Look up layout mode using configuration variable column.<name> and column.ui. --mode=<mode> Specify layout mode. See configuration variable column.ui for option syntax. --raw-mode=<n> Same as --mode but take mode encoded as a number. This is mainly used by other commands that have already parsed layout mode. --width=<width> Specify the terminal width. By default git column will detect the terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so. --indent=<string> String to be printed at the beginning of each line. --nl=<N> String to be printed at the end of each line, including newline character. --padding=<N> The number of spaces between columns. One space by default. AUTHOR
