2239. Find Closest Number to Zero ¶
Problem
Given an integer array nums
of size n
, return the number with the value closest to 0
in nums
. If there are multiple answers, return the number with the largest value.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [-4,-2,1,4,8] Output: 1 Explanation: The distance from -4 to 0 is |-4| = 4. The distance from -2 to 0 is |-2| = 2. The distance from 1 to 0 is |1| = 1. The distance from 4 to 0 is |4| = 4. The distance from 8 to 0 is |8| = 8. Thus, the closest number to 0 in the array is 1.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [2,-1,1] Output: 1 Explanation: 1 and -1 are both the closest numbers to 0, so 1 being larger is returned.
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 1000
-105 <= nums[i] <= 105
