53. Maximum Subarray

Medium

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.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4]

Output: 6

Explanation: [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1]

Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: nums = [5,4,-1,7,8]

Output: 23

Constraints:

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.

Solution

-spec max_sub_array(Nums :: [integer()]) -> integer().
-export([dp/4]).
max_sub_array(Nums) ->
 N= length(Nums),
   [Sum|Send] = Nums,
 Max=Sum,
 dp(Send,N-1,Sum,Max).
     

dp(Nums,0,Sum,Max)->
   Max;
dp(Nums,N,Sum,Max) ->
   [A|B] = Nums,
   if 
       A+Sum > A -> Next = Sum+A;
       true -> Next = A
   end,
   if  
       Next>Max -> Max2 = Next;
       true -> Max2 = Max
   end,
   dp(B,N-1,Next,Max2).
