I have the following 
X=[1  - 3  5  -8  4  9 -6  -3]
I want to separate the polarity ( positive values from the negative values) like this
Xp=[1 5 4 9]
Xn=[-3 -8 -6 -3]
then flip the negative  values to positive values 
like 
Xn=[3 8 6 3]
then pass the values as a two-step
like 
first, pass the positive step and the second pass the negative steps 
NOTE : general methods

      Xp=X(X>0)
Xn=X(X<0)
Xn=abs(Xn)

			Xn=-Xn
Note : Only works if all the numbers are less than 0.
Xn(Xn<0)=-Xn(Xn<0) % alternate would work generally
