Maximum Sum Subarray Problem Statement
Given an array of integers, find the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray within the array.
Example:
Input:
array = [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86]
Output:
137
Explanation:
The maximum sum of a contiguous subarray is 137, which is the sum of the elements [42, 14, -5, 86].
Input:
array = [-5, -1, -8, -9]
Output:
-1
Explanation:
The maximum sum of a contiguous subarray is -1, as choosing any subarray cannot yield a greater sum.
Input:
N
array of N space-separated integers
Output:
Maximum sum of any contiguous subarray
Constraints:
- 1 ≤ N ≤ 105
- -104 ≤ array[i] ≤ 104
Note:
The solution should be accomplished in O(N) time complexity.

The direct approach to solve this problem is to run two for loops and for every subarray check if it is the maximum sum possible. Time complexity: O(N^2), Where N is the size of the array. Space compl...read more
