53. Maximum Subarray

Tags: ‘Array’, ‘Divide and Conquer’, ‘Dynamic Programming’

Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return its sum.

Example:

Input: [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4],
Output: 6
Explanation: [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.

If you have figured out the O(n) solution, try coding another solution using the divide and conquer approach, which is more subtle.

Solution

方法1: DP, 类似还有134 Gas Station / 517 Washing Machines

public int maxSubArray(int[] nums) {
    int n = nums.length;
    int[] dp = new int[n]; // dp[i] is the maximum subarray sum ending with nums[i]
    dp[0] = nums[0];
    int max = dp[0];
    
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        dp[i] = nums[i] + (dp[i - 1] > 0 ? dp[i - 1] : 0);
        max = Math.max(max, dp[i]);
    }
    return max;
}

方法2: divide and conquer 类似merge sort
