Add Maximum Subarray Sum Problem and Solution
This pull request adds a new problem "Maximum Subarray Sum" to the algorithms repository. The problem and its solution have been implemented in the
array
folder.Changes Made
README.md
file with the problem statement, example, constraints, and task description.solution.py
using Kadane's Algorithm, which has O(n) time complexity.Problem Overview
The Maximum Subarray Sum problem asks to find the contiguous subarray with the largest sum within a given integer array. This is a classic algorithmic problem that has applications in various fields, including finance and data analysis.
Solution Approach
The implemented solution uses Kadane's Algorithm, which efficiently solves the problem in O(n) time complexity. The algorithm makes a single pass through the array, keeping track of the maximum sum seen so far and the current sum.
Testing
A test case has been included in the
solution.py
file to verify the correctness of the implementation.Link to Devin Run
This problem and solution were implemented as part of a Devin run. You can find the details of the run here:
