Hello hdb

> version will be very slow if there are only negative numbers... ;)

eh eh, you are right but the check does not slow it at all..

Discipulus => sub{ my @list = sort {$a<=>$b} @input; if ($list[0] < 0 and $list[-1] > 0){ push @list, shift @list until $list[0] >= 0; } Compare(\@list,\@output) or die "@list" if DO_CHECK; },

update: more test cases.. more checks!

Discipulus4 => q{ # https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1229437 @list = sort {$a<=>$b} @list; if ($list[0] < 0 and $list[-1] >= 0) { push @list, shift @list until $list[0] >= 0 } },

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
