# Task 1: Max Positive Negative
# =============================
#
# You are given an array of integers, @ints.
#
# Write a script to return the maximum number of either positive or negative
# integers in the given array.
#
## Example 1
##
## Input: @ints = (-3, 1, 2, -1, 3, -2, 4)
## Output: 4
##
## Count of positive integers: 4
## Count of negative integers: 3
## Maximum of count of positive and negative integers: 4
#
## Example 2
##
## Input: @ints = (-1, -2, -3, 1)
## Output: 3
##
## Count of positive integers: 1
## Count of negative integers: 3
## Maximum of count of positive and negative integers: 3
#
## Example 3
##
## Input: @ints = (1,2)
## Output: 2
##
## Count of positive integers: 2
## Count of negative integers: 0
## Maximum of count of positive and negative integers: 2
