  • Ans. 

    Find the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray within an array of integers.

    • Iterate through the array and keep track of the maximum sum of subarrays encountered so far.

    • At each index, decide whether to include the current element in the subarray or start a new subarray.

    • Use Kadane's algorithm to solve the problem efficiently.

    • Example: For array [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86], the maximum subarray sum is 137.
