Maximum Count of Positive Integer and Negative Integer

main.md

Question

Approach

In my approach, I iterate through the list and count the number of positive and negative numbers separately. If a number is greater than zero, I increase the positive count. If a number is less than zero, I increase the negative count. Finally, I return the maximum count between positive and negative numbers.

Implementation

class Solution:
    def maximumCount(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        p = 0
        n = 0
        for i in nums:
            if i > 0:
                p += 1
            elif i < 0:
                n += 1
        return max(p,n)

Complexities

• Time: O(n)
• Space: O(1)
