Greedy Approach with Sorting

  1. Sort the array in ascending order.
  2. Initialize product to 1 if there's at least one positive number, otherwise to the largest negative number.
  3. Iterate through the sorted array from the end.
  4. Multiply product by each positive number.
  5. Count the number of negative numbers.
  6. If the count of negative numbers is odd, skip the largest negative number (which is the first negative number in the sorted array).
  7. Multiply product by each of the remaining negative numbers.
  8. Return product as the maximum strength.
