Maximum Subarray

Problem Statement

Given an integer array nums, find the subarray which has the largest sum and return its sum.

Examples

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 <= 10^5
-10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4

Code

Python3 Code

class Solution:
def maxSubArray(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
m=0
a=nums[0]
for i in nums:
m=m+i
if m>a:
a=m
if m<0:
m=0
return a
