How can I Find the first negative number in an array?

Question

Let's say I have an array of X=[22, 41, 2, -10, 7, -55, 88, 4] and I want to find the first negative number. How can I do that in python?

Answer 1

Karzan

Sort array and get 1st value.

You can do like this also

arr = [22, 41, 2, -10, 7, -55, 84, 4]

min = 0

for i in arr:
if i < 0:
min = i
break

print (min)

Answer 2

This is what I did so others can see too.

for val in X:
if val <0:
print(val)
break

Answer 3

🅰🅹 (Challenge Accepted) your second solution is better. Sorting might rearrange the original order. Then you would find the lowest negative number, though not necessarily the first.

Answer 4

Nevermind, I solved it
