2529. 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.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-2,-1,-1,1,2,3]
Output: 3
Explanation: There are 3 positive integers and 3 negative integers. The maximum count among them is 3.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-3,-2,-1,0,0,1,2]
Output: 3
Explanation: There are 2 positive integers and 3 negative integers. The maximum count among them is 3.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [5,20,66,1314]
Output: 4
Explanation: There are 4 positive integers and 0 negative integers. The maximum count among them is 4.

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