This program is a little illustration of some things you can do manipulating numbers arithmetically in a console program. It was inspired by an end-of-chapter 3 exercise in "Visual Basic 2005, How to Program" by Deitel:

"Write a program that inputs five numbers and determines and prints the number of negative numbers input, the number of positive numbers input and the number of zeros input. Do not count zeros as either a positive or negative number."

This program does this with four (rather than five) number inputs. The one thing I could not figure out was that the non-positive numbers show up as 0 in the positive number list, rather than not be there at all. If anyone can show me how to exclude them from the list rather than have them counted as zero, please chime in!

Thanks!
