🧠 Before you code — what pattern fits?
We are given an array asteroids: the absolute value is its size, the sign its direction (positive = right, negative = left). All move at the same speed. When two asteroids meet, the smaller explodes (both explode if equal). Asteroids moving the same direction never meet.
Return the state of the asteroids after all collisions.
[5,10,-5] → [5,10]
[8,-8] → []
[10,2,-5] → [10]
