Hi , I am stuck in day9 part1 . My output fails for input . It works for sample input. But for puzzle input it does not work. There are negative values in the input. My code is below. "

fun main() {
    val inputList = mutableListOf<String>()
    val inputStream: InputStream = File("day9_23.txt").inputStream()
    inputStream.bufferedReader().useLines { lines ->
        lines.forEach {
            inputList.add(it.toString())
        }
    }

    val rows: List<List<Int>> = inputList.map { it.split(" ").map { i -> i.toInt() } }

   println( rows.sumOf {
         prepareLayers(it)
     } )
}


private fun prepareLayers(row: List<Int>): Int {
    var originalList: MutableList<Int> = row.toMutableList()
    val layeredList: MutableList<MutableList<Int>> = mutableListOf()
    layeredList.add(row.toMutableList())
    do {
        val differences = originalList.windowed(2 ).map { it[1] - it[0] }
        layeredList.add(differences.toMutableList())
        originalList = differences.toMutableList()
    } while (originalList.sum() != 0)
    return layeredList.sumOf { it.last() }
}

My input is :
``````
Could you please help me with regards to this

to check for all zeroes, you're using sum != 0, which works for the example because they're all positive numbers, but the actual input has negative numbers (and the sum of a list of positive and negative numbers can be 0, but should not pass this test because they all should be exactly 0)
