Maximum Subarray: Kadane's Algorithm

Real-World Engineering Context
Used in computer vision (finding highest-contrast regions in an image) and genomic sequence alignment to locate protein coding regions.
Given an integer array `nums`, find the subarray with the largest sum, and return its sum.

Sample Test Cases

Input: [[-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4]]
Expected: 6
Input: [[1]]
Expected: 1
Input: [[5,4,-1,7,8]]
Expected: 23

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • -10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4
