Implement a function signFunc(x) that returns:
1ifxis positive.-1ifxis negative.0ifxis equal to0.
You are given an integer array nums. Let product be the product of all values in the array nums.
Return signFunc(product).
Example 1:
Input: nums = [-1,-2,-3,-4,3,2,1] Output: 1 Explanation: The product of all values in the array is 144, and signFunc(144) = 1
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,5,0,2,-3] Output: 0 Explanation: The product of all values in the array is 0, and signFunc(0) = 0
Example 3:
Input: nums = [-1,1,-1,1,-1] Output: -1 Explanation: The product of all values in the array is -1, and signFunc(-1) = -1
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 1000-100 <= nums[i] <= 100
Hints
Hint 1
If there is a 0 in the array the answer is 0
Hint 2
To avoid overflow make all the negative numbers -1 and all positive numbers 1 and calculate the prod
