Return Negative

Definition

In this simple assignment you are given a number and have to make it negative. But maybe the number is already negative?

make_negative(1);  # return -1
make_negative(-5); # return -5
make_negative(0);  # return 0

Notes:

• The number can be negative already, in which case no change is required.
• Zero (0) is not checked for any specific sign. Negative zeros make no mathematical sense.
