Leetcode Maximum Subarray problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024

In this Leetcode Maximum Subarray problem solution we have given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum, and return its sum. A subarray is a contiguous part of an array.

Problem solution in Python.

solution 1
         max_so_far=nums[0]
         max_ending_here=0
         for i in range(len(nums)):
             max_ending_here+=nums[i]
             if max_so_far<max_ending_here:
                 max_so_far=max_ending_here
             if max_ending_here<0:
                 max_ending_here=0
        return max_so_far
        
        solution 2
        
        max_so_far=nums[0]
        curr_=nums[0]
        for i in range(1,len(nums)):
            curr_=max(nums[i],curr_+nums[i])
            max_so_far=max(max_so_far,curr_)
        return max_so_far

Problem solution in Java.

public int maxSubArray(int[] nums) {
        int maxSum = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        int currentSum = 0;
    
        for(int i: nums){
            currentSum = Math.max(i, currentSum + i);
            maxSum = Math.max(maxSum, currentSum);
        }
        
        return maxSum;
    }

Problem solution in C++.

class Solution {
public:
    int maxSubArray(vector<int>& nums) 
    {
        int sum=nums[0];
        for(int i=1;i<nums.size();i++)
        {
            int t=nums[i-1]+nums[i];
            nums[i]=max(nums[i],t);
            sum=max(sum,nums[i]);
        }
        return sum;
    }

Problem solution in C.

int maxSubArray(int* nums, int n) {
        int ans=nums[0],i,sum=0;
        for(i=0;i<n;i++){
            sum+=nums[i];
            if(ans<sum)ans=sum;
            if(sum<0)sum=0;
        }
        return ans;
}
