算法第16周Maximum Subarray[easy]

Description

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.

Solution

这道题是求最大连续子串的和。我们可以采用动态规划的方法来解决。
dp[i] 为以A[i]结尾的最大连续子串的和。
如果dp[i-1] < 0, 那么以A[i]结尾的话，无论A[i]为正还是负，加上一个负数，总会小于它本身，所以dp[i] = A[i];
如果dp[i-1] > 0, 那么dp[i] = A[i]+dp[i-1];
在这个过程中需要记录dp数组的最大值。

class Solution {
public:
    int maxSubArray(vector<int>& nums) {
        int n = nums.size();
        int dp[n];
        dp[0] = nums[0];
        int m = dp[0];
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
            if (dp[i-1] > 0) {
                dp[i] = nums[i]+dp[i-1];
            } else {
                dp[i] = nums[i];
            }
            m = max(dp[i], m);
        }
        return m;
    }
};
