(Leet Code c++)Maximum Subarray

53. Maximum Subarray

 

Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return its sum.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4] Output: 6 Explanation: [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1] Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: nums = [5,4,-1,7,8] Output: 23

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 3 * 104
• -105 <= nums[i] <= 105

 

Follow up: If you have figured out the O(n) solution, try coding another solution using the divide and conquer approach, which is more subtle.

class Solution {
public:
    int maxSubArray(vector<int>& nums) {
        for(int i = 1; i < nums.size(); i++){
            nums[i] = max(nums[i], nums[i] + nums[i - 1]);
        }
        
        return *max_element(nums.begin(), nums.end());
    }
};
