Problem: Maximum Subarray

Medium
30 min
Explore techniques to identify the contiguous subarray with the highest sum in an integer array. This lesson helps you understand problem constraints, develop an optimal O(n) solution with constant space, and apply your skills in a coding environment to prepare for technical interviews.

Statement

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

Note: A subarray is a contiguous part of an array that contains at least one number.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq nums.length 103\leq 10^3

  • 104-10^4 \leq nums[i] 104\leq 10^4
