Maximum Subarray

Find the contiguous subarray within an array (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum.

For example, given the array [−2,1,−3,4,−1,2,1,−5,4],
the contiguous subarray [4,−1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.

More practice:

If you have figured out the O(n) solution, try coding another solution using the divide and conquer approach, which is more subtle.

This code works fine, but got runtime error if the array is too too long...

class Solution:
    # @param A, a list of integers
    # @return an integer
    def maxSubArray(self, A):
        
        length = len(A)
        
        if length == 0:
            return A
        
        arr_rcrd = []
        sum_rcrd = []
        
        for num_sum in range(length):
            
            num_sum += 1
            
            for index in range(length):
                
                if index + num_sum < length + 1:
                    
                    arr_rcrd.append(A[index : index + num_sum])
                    
                    sum_rcrd.append(sum(A[index : index + num_sum]))
        
        #This will only get you the first instance
        #max_idx = sum_rcrd.index(max(sum_rcrd))
        
        max_sum = max(sum_rcrd)
        max_idx = [i for i, j in enumerate(sum_rcrd) if j == max_sum]
        if len(max_idx) == 1:
            return arr_rcrd[max_idx[0]]
