Answer Posted / sathish

Just count the number of -ve symbols in the array before sorting.

CODE:
void main()
{
clrscr();
int i,j,count=0,a[5]={10,2,-7,-5,3};
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
if(a[i]<0)
count=count+1;
if((count%2)==0)
{
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{

if(a[i]<0)
a[i]=-a[i];
}
}
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
for(j=i;j<5;j++)
{
if(a[i]<a[j])
{
int temp=a[i];
a[i]=a[j];
a[j]=temp;
}
}
}
int mul=1;
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
mul=mul*a[i];
}
cout<<mul;
getch();
}
