# [53. Maximum Subarray](https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-subarray/)


## 题目

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

**Example**:


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


**Follow up**:

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

## 题目大意

给定一个整数数组 nums ，找到一个具有最大和的连续子数组（子数组最少包含一个元素），返回其最大和。

## 解题思路

- 这一题可以用 DP 求解也可以不用 DP。
- 题目要求输出数组中某个区间内数字之和最大的那个值。`dp[i]` 表示 `[0,i]` 区间内各个子区间和的最大值，状态转移方程是 `dp[i] = nums[i] + dp[i-1] (dp[i-1] > 0)`，`dp[i] = nums[i] (dp[i-1] ≤ 0)`。

## 代码

```go

package leetcode

// 解法一 DP
func maxSubArray(nums []int) int {
	if len(nums) == 0 {
		return 0
	}
	if len(nums) == 1 {
		return nums[0]
	}
	dp, res := make([]int, len(nums)), nums[0]
	dp[0] = nums[0]
	for i := 1; i < len(nums); i++ {
		if dp[i-1] > 0 {
			dp[i] = nums[i] + dp[i-1]
		} else {
			dp[i] = nums[i]
		}
		res = max(res, dp[i])
	}
	return res
}

// 解法二 模拟
func maxSubArray1(nums []int) int {
	if len(nums) == 1 {
		return nums[0]
	}
	maxSum, res, p := nums[0], 0, 0
	for p < len(nums) {
		res += nums[p]
		if res > maxSum {
			maxSum = res
		}
		if res < 0 {
			res = 0
		}
		p++
	}
	return maxSum
}
