Python | Reverse sign of each element in given list

Given a list of integers, write a Python program to reverse the sign of each element in given list.

Examples:

Input : [-1, 2, 3, -4, 5, -6, -7]
Output : [1, -2, -3, 4, -5, 6, 7]

Input : [-5, 9, -23, -2, 7]
Output : [5, -9, 23, 2, -7]

Methods #1 : List comprehension

# Python3 program to Convert positive  
# list integers to negative and vice-versa 
def Convert(lst): 
    return [ -i for i in lst ] 
  
# Driver code 
lst = [-1, 2, 3, -4, 5, -6, -7] 
print(Convert(lst)) 

Output:

[1, -2, -3, 4, -5, 6, 7]

Methods #2 : Using numpy
The Python module, Numpy, can also be used which is the most pythonic way to solve the given problem. The list is first converted to numpy array and then, the negative of the array is returned, which is finally converted to list.

# Python3 program to Convert positive  
# list integers to negative and vice-versa 
import numpy as np 
  
def Convert(lst): 
    lst = np.array(lst) 
    return list(-lst) 
      
# Driver code 
lst = [-1, 2, 3, -4, 5, -6, -7] 
print(Convert(lst)) 

Output:

[1, -2, -3, 4, -5, 6, 7]
