Find the contiguous subarray which has the largest sum

Problem description

Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return its sum.

Examples

Example 1:
Input: [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4],
Output: 6
Explanation: [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.

Solution

　　这道题曾在剑指Offer上看过解法，有两种解法

1. DP，做过最直观的DP啦_ .dp[i]表示以第 i 个数字的子数组结尾的子数组最大和。

   如果 dp[i - 1] 小于零，那么加上当前的 nums[i] 得到的结果会比第 i 个数字要小。在这种情况下第 i 个数字结尾的子数组就是 nums[i] 本身。

   否则以第 i 个数字的子数组结尾的子数组最大和等于i - 1的子数组最大和加上当前 nums[i].

$$
dp[i] =\left{
\begin{array}{rcl}
dp[i - 1] + nums[i] & & dp(i - 1) > 0\ && \ i\ != 0\
num[i] & & dp(i-1) < 0\
\end{array} \right.
$$

　　2. 找规律，记录累加和，当累加和小于0时，说明前面的子数组已构成一个最大和（听着有点别扭哈）。令累加和等于当前值，重新开始累加。

Code

/**DP
     * @param nums
     * @return the max sum of sub array
     */
     public int maxSubArray(int[] nums) {
        int dp[] = new int[nums.length];
        dp[0] = nums[0];
        int maxSum = dp[0];
        for (int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) {
            if (dp[i - 1] > 0) {
                dp[i] = dp[i - 1] + nums[i];
            } else {
                dp[i] = nums[i];
            }
            maxSum = Math.max(dp[i], maxSum);
        }
        return maxSum;
    }

/**Find the law 
     * @param nums
     * @return the max sum of sub array
     */
    public int maxSubArray(int[] nums) {
        int maxSum = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        int curSum = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            curSum = (curSum <= 0) ? nums[i] : (nums[i] + curSum);
            maxSum = Math.max(maxSum, curSum);
        }
        return maxSum;
    }
