Given an integer array nums
, find the subarray with the largest sum, and return its sum.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4] Output: 6 Explanation: The subarray [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum 6.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1] Output: 1 Explanation: The subarray [1] has the largest sum 1.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [5,4,-1,7,8] Output: 23 Explanation: The subarray [5,4,-1,7,8] has the largest sum 23.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 10 5
-10 4 <= nums[i] <= 10 4
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.
Python
class Solution: def maxSubArray(self, nums: List[int]) -> int: maxNum = -100000 sum = 0 for i in range(len(nums)): sum += nums[i] if sum < nums[i ]: sum = nums[i] maxNum = max(sum, maxNum) return maxNum
