Problem 49
Description
This problem was asked by Amazon.
Given an array of numbers, find the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray of the array.
For example, given the array [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86]
, the maximum sum would be 137
, since we would take elements 42
, 14
, -5
, and 86
.
Given the array [-5, -1, -8, -9]
, the maximum sum would be 0
, since we would not take any elements.
Do this in O(N) time.
