Answer 1

The following co‎de has been written using Python.

data = [-4, 5 ,-6, 2, 4, -10, -8, 9, -1]

s = 0

for i in data:

   if i > 0:

       s = s + i

print(s, "is the sum of the positive numbers in the given data.")

       

What we did is, we stored the data in the form of a list and then start a for loop to traverse through the list. A for loop is an iteration statement that does repeated-checking till it reaches the end of a specified range/until a specific condition is met.

In this case, the loop does repeated-checking till the last element in the list. As the loop is continuing, it tests the if condition, which checks if the number is positive/negative. It then gets added to 's' which represents the sum of the positive numbers.
