""""

Create a function that will validate if given parameters are valid geographical coordinates.

Valid coordinates look like the following: "23.32353342, -32.543534534". The return value should be either true or false.

Latitude (which is first float) can be between 0 and 90, positive or negative. Longitude (which is second float) can be between 0 and 180, positive or negative.

Coordinates can only contain digits, or one of the following symbols (including space after comma) -, .

There should be no space between the minus "-" sign and the digit after it.

Here are some valid coordinates:

-23, 25

43.91343345, 143

4, -3

And some invalid ones:

23.234, - 23.4234

N23.43345, E32.6457

6.325624, 43.34345.345

0, 1,2
