If you want to practice data structure and algorithm programs, you can go through 100+ java coding interview questions.
Problem:
From Wikipedia :
In computer science, the Largest sum contiguous subarray is the task of finding the contiguous subarray within a one-dimensional array of numbers which has the largest sum. For example, for the sequence of values −2, 1, −3, 4, −1, 2, 1, −5, 4; the contiguous subarray with the largest sum is 4, −1, 2, 1, with sum 6.
Solution :
There are multiple solution to solve this problem:
Solution 1:
Use two loops and try each combination of array elements to find maximum sum.
Time complexity : O(N^2)
Solution 2:
Kadane ‘s algoritm
I have discussed Kadane ‘s algorithm in previous post. You can refer it.
Time complexity : O(N)
Solution 3:
Dynamic Programming:
You can use dynamic programming to solve this problem.
Lets say array be arr[] and maximum sum upto index i is maxSum(i)
Logic which can be used for dynamic programming:
maxSum(i) = Max of (maxSum(i-1) + a[i] , a[i])
So it can be define as
Max sum at index i is maximum of (max sum upto i-1 + current element , current element)
Java code :
public int dynamicProgramForMaxSubArray(int[] arr) {
int[] result = new int[arr.length];
result[0]=arr[0];
for (int i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
result[i]=Math.max(result[i-1]+arr[i], arr[i]);
}
int maxSumArray = result[0];
for (int j = 1; j
Time complexity : O(N)
Java Program to find largest sum contiguous subarray:
package org.arpit.java2blog;
public class MaximumSubArrayMain {
/* Dynamic programming algorithm to find largest sum continuous subarray
*/
public int dynamicProgramForMaxSubArray(int[] arr) {
int[] result = new int[arr.length];
result[0]=arr[0];
for (int i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
result[i]=Math.max(result[i-1]+arr[i], arr[i]);
}
int maxSumArray = result[0];
for (int j = 1; j if(maxSumArray
When you run above program, you will get below output:
Largest sum continuous subarray is 9
