Python: Sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with product signs
Python Programming Puzzles: Exercise-57 with Solution
Write a Python program to find the sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with a sign that is equal to the product of the signs of the entries.
Input: [1, 3, -2] Output: -6 Input: [1, -3, 3] Output: -7 Input: [10, 32, 3] Output: 45 Input: [-25, -12, -23] Output: -60

Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def test(nums):
tot = sum(abs(i) for i in nums)
if all(nums):
return tot if sum(i < 0 for i in nums) % 2 == 0 else -tot
return 0
nums = [1, 3, -2]
print("Original list of numbers:")
print(nums)
print("Sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with a sign that is equal to the product of the signs of the entries:")
print(test(nums))
nums = [1, -3, 3]
print("\nOriginal list of numbers:")
print(nums)
print("Sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with a sign that is equal to the product of the signs of the entries:")
print(test(nums))
nums = [10, 32, 3]
print("\nOriginal list of numbers:")
print(nums)
print("Sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with a sign that is equal to the product of the signs of the entries:")
print(test(nums))
nums = [-25, -12, -23]
print("\nOriginal list of numbers:")
print(nums)
print("Sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with a sign that is equal to the product of the signs of the entries:")
print(test(nums))
Sample Output:
Original list of numbers: [1, 3, -2] Sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with a sign that is equal to the product of the signs of the entries: -6 Original list of numbers: [1, -3, 3] Sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with a sign that is equal to the product of the signs of the entries: -7 Original list of numbers: [10, 32, 3] Sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with a sign that is equal to the product of the signs of the entries: 45 Original list of numbers: [-25, -12, -23] Sum of the magnitudes of the elements in the array with a sign that is equal to the product of the signs of the entries: -60

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
