Maximize the difference between two subsets of a set with negatives

Given an of integers of size N. The task is to separate these integers into two groups g1 and g2 such that (sum of elements of g1) – (sum of elements of g2) becomes maximum. Your task is to print the value of result. We may keep one subset as empty.

Examples: 

Input : 3, 7, -4, 10, -11, 2 
Output : 37 
Explanation: 
g1: 3, 7, 10, 2 
g2: -4, -11 
result = ( 3 + 7 + 10 + 2 ) – ( -4 + -11) = 22 – (-15) = 37

Input : 2, 2, -2, -2 
Output :

The idea is to group integers according to their sign value i.e., we group positive integers as g1 and negative integers as g2. 
Since, – ( -g2 ) = +g2 
Therefore, result becomes g1 + |g2|.
