Problem: Maximum Subarray

Medium
30 min
Explore how to identify the contiguous subarray with the largest sum in an integer array. Understand problem constraints and implement an optimal solution that runs in linear time with constant space. This lesson helps you develop efficient algorithmic thinking essential for coding 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
