    <p>Since this is a learning exercise, I wouldn't write code, just the explanation:</p> <ul> <li>In general, the array is not guaranteed to have negative elements. Therefore, the program should be ready to see two outcomes - (a) when there is at least one negative element, so you can produce the desired output, and (b) when there are no negative elements in the array.</li> <li>Keeping the above in mind, your second loop needs to keep two parts of the current state: the <code>nmaxelement</code> that you already have, and <code>bool haveNegatives</code> which you need to introduce.</li> <li>Set <code>haveNegatives</code> to `false before the second loop</li> <li>Inside the loop, first check if the number <code>c[i]</code> is negative. If it is non-negative, move on to the next element (e.g. using the <code>continue</code> statement).</li> <li>If the number <code>c[i]</code> is negative, look at the current value of <code>haveNegatives</code>: if it is set to <code>true</code>, compare <code>c[i]</code> to <code>nmaxelement</code>, and change the current value of <code>nmaxelement</code> if <code>c[i]</code> is greater.</li> <li>If <code>haveNegatives</code> is <code>false</code>, set it to <code>true</code>, and also set <code>haveNegatives</code> to <code>c[i]</code></li> </ul> <p>When the loop ends, <code>haveNegatives</code> will be set to <code>true</code> if <code>nmaxelement</code> contains the highest negative element of the array; if there are no negative numbers in the array, <code>nmaxelement</code> will remain <code>false</code>.</p> <p>Alternatively, you could store the index of the current max negative in a single variable, rather than keeping both the value and the index. In this case, you could set that index to <code>-1</code> before the loop, and make a conditional on that index, like this:</p> <pre><code>// Come to this point only when c[i] is negative if (maxNegativeIndex == -1 || c[i] &gt; c[maxNegativeIndex]) { maxNegativeIndex = i; } </code></pre>

    2. CO@Sofie It's a type that lets you store a value of a logical expression - `true` or `false`. If you have not studied `bool`s yet, consider using the alternative approach with `maxNegativeIndex` replacing both the `haveNegatives` and `nmaxelement`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
