Problem A
Count Negative

If you are doing this problem outside of a class, or your instructor has not given you code to use as a starting point, skip ahead to the Input/Output sections for a concise description of the input/output requirements of this problem.

CS 121 students: To solve this problem, use file countnegative.py from your CS 121 repository as a starting point. It will handle the input/output, and all you will need to do is add code in the places indicated in the file.

You must implement a function called count_negative that, given a list of integers, must return the number of negative integers in that list.

If you are using countnegative.py as a starting point, you can ignore the rest of the Input/Output sections below. Just submit your modified countnegative.py once you have written your solution.

Input

The input is composed of one or two lines. The first line contains an integer $n$ ($0 \le n \le 100$) that specifies the number of values in the list. If $n=0$, there is no second line (i.e., the input is an empty list of values). If $n>0$, then the second line contains the $n$ integers (for each integer $x$, $-1\, 000\, 000 \leqslant x \leqslant 1\, 000\, 000$), each separated by a single space.

Output

You must print a single integer: the number of negative values in the input.
