task clarification

I can only assume that a   positive integer   is meant to be found,   otherwise finding the   smallest negative integer   would be pointless.


How about:

-99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,025,264


(Of course, there are smaller numbers!)


And, in the hinterlands of the Rosetta Code coders, it was heard:

Oh yeah?   my   googolplex thingy is bigger than   your   googolplex thingy.   So there!
