It isn't as simple as that. But all these particles have positive mass,
and the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton:
Mass of proton : 1.6726 x 10^(-27) kg
Mass of neutron: 1.6749 x 10^(-27) kg
Mass of electron: 0.00091x10^(-27) kg
A neutron decays into a proton, an electron and some other stuff,
including energy. But there is no proton or electron 'inside' a neutron.
