Write a static method named negativeSum() that accepts a string of text as a parameter from the standard console input stream. Assume that the text is a series of integers, and determine whether or not the cumulative sum starting from the first number is ever negative. The method should produce a message indicating whether or not a negative sum is possible and it should return true if a negative sum can be reached and false if it can't be reached. For example, if the string contains the following text,

"38 4 19 27 -15 3 4 19 38 your method will consider the sum of just one number (38), the sum of the first two numbers (38 4), the sum of the first three numbers (38 4 19) and so on up to the sum of all of the numbers. None of these sums is negative, so the method would produce the following message: no negative sum and would return false. If the text is the following, TT 14 7 10 9 -18 10 17 42 98 the method finds that a negative sum is reached after adding 6 numbers together (14 7 10 9 18 10) and that the sum is 8. It should report the following: -8 after 6 steps and should return true, indicating that a negative sum can be reached. (3pts)
