Q1. 
Maximum Subarray Sum Problem Statement
Given an array of integers, determine the maximum possible sum of any contiguous subarray within the array.
Example:
Input:
array = [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86]
Out...read more
Ans. 
The maximum sum of any contiguous subarray in an array is found using Kadane's algorithm in O(N) time.
• Initialize two variables, maxSum and currentSum, both set to the first element of the array.

• Iterate through the array from the second element.

• For each element, update currentSum by adding the element to it.

• If currentSum becomes negative, reset it to 0.

• If currentSum is greater than maxSum, update maxSum.

• After iterating ...read more
