Challenge 11: Maximum Sum Subarray
With the given an array, find the contiguous subarray with the largest sum.
Maximum subarray sum: An introduction
Given an unsorted array , the maximum sum subarray is the subarray (contiguous elements) from for which the sum of the elements is maximum. In this challenge, find the sum of the maximum sum subarray. This problem is trick because the array might have negative integers in any position. Therefore, you have to cater to those negative integers while choosing the continuous subarray with the largest positive values.
