Maximum Subarray Sum Problem Statement

Given an array arr of length N consisting of integers, find the sum of the subarray (including empty subarray) with the maximum sum among all subarrays.

Explanation:

A subarray is a contiguous segment of an array, meaning it can be formed by removing 0 or more integers from the start, and 0 or more integers from the end of the array.

Input:

N
arr[0] arr[1] ... arr[N-1]

Output:

The sum of the maximum subarray.

Example:

Input:
N = 5
arr = [-2, 1, -3, 4, -1]
Output:
4
Explanation:

The maximum subarray sum is obtained by the subarray [4] which has the sum 4.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= N <= 10^6
  • -10^6 <= arr[i] <= 10^6
Note:

The sum of an empty subarray is considered 0.
