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.

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

Note that 0 is neither positive nor negative.

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

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.

Constraints
