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.

If you have figured out the O(n) solution, try coding another solution using the divide and conquer approach, which is more subtle.
class Solution {
public:
int maxSubArray(int A[], int n)
{
int ans = INT_MIN, sum = 0;
for(int i=0; i<n; i++)
{
sum = max(A[i], sum + A[i]);
ans = max(ans, sum);
}
return ans;
}
};
