LEARN Theory for this problem
+

`if`, comparison operators, and logical operators let a program choose output according to a condition.

Connection to “Sign of Number”: here, branching selects a case using a Boolean condition; test order matters when cases overlap.

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    long long n;
    cin >> n;
    if (n > 0) cout << "positive" << '\n';
    else if (n < 0) cout << "negative" << '\n';
    else cout << "zero" << '\n';
    return 0;
