Maximum Count of Positive Integer and Negative Integer

Given an array nums sorted in non-decreasing order, return the maximum between the number of positive integers and the number of negative integers.

  • In other words, if the number of positive integers in nums is pos and the number of negative integers is neg, then return the maximum of pos and neg.

Note that 0 is neither positive nor negative.

Follow up: Can you solve the problem in O(log(n)) time complexity?

Example 1
Inputnums = [-2,-1,-1,1,2,3]
Output3
There are 3 positive integers and 3 negative integers, so the maximum count among them is 3.
Example 2
Inputnums = [-3,-2,-1,0,0,1,2]
Output3
There are 2 positive integers and 3 negative integers, so the maximum count among them is 3.

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 2000
  • -2000 <= nums[i] <= 2000
  • nums is sorted in a non-decreasing order.
