    Maximum subarray sum

    Mediumarraydynamic programminggreedy

    Return the largest sum of any contiguous part (at least one element) of nums.

    Example 1

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

    Output: 1

    Example 3

    Input:  nums = [5,4,-1,7,8]
    Output: 23

    Constraints

    • 1 ≤ nums.length ≤ 10⁵
    • -10⁴ ≤ nums[i] ≤ 10⁴
