My issue
What will be the output of the array [-3, 4, 5, 2, 1] according to this problem?
My code
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
class Codechef
{
public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
{
// your code goes here
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int t = sc.nextInt();
while(t-- > 0) {
int n = sc.nextInt();
int[] a = new int[n];
int cnt = 0;
long sum = 0;
int p = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for(int i =0; i<n; i++) {
a[i] = sc.nextInt();
sum += Math.abs(a[i]);
p = Math.min(p, Math.abs(a[i]));
if(a[i] < 0) {
// p = Math.max(p, a[i]);
cnt++;
}
}
if(cnt%2 != 0) {
sum += p*2;
}
System.out.println(sum);
}
sc.close();
}
}
