    Exclamation Challenge

    Ok, I Just read the new challenge and some thing hit me hard(Excuse my corny literature) while trying to make sense of it(I didn't rack my brains; I directly went to the solutions page ) . See this output:
    Code:
    input:
    vector = {-1, -2, -4, -5, -6};
    output:
    0 //Should'nt it be returning the least naegative number???

    They are setting the sum to zero when ever they encounter a negative sum as far as I recall. I'm thinking of introducing another variable to store the least negative(or +ve) number ever enconutered to solve this.

    oh..oh..
    Your program finds the largest element not the sum...
