Kadane Algo

/* Kadane's algorithm is one of the most efficient ways to
 * calculate the maximum contiguous subarray sum for a given array.
 * Below is the implementation of kadanes's algorithm along with
 * some sample test cases.
 * There might be a special case in this problem if al the elements
 * of the given array are negative. In such a case, the maximum negative
 * value present in the array is the answer.
 *

About us

We are a group of programmers helping each other build new things, whether it be writing complex encryption programs, or simple ciphers. Our goal is to work together to document and model beautiful, helpful and interesting algorithms using code. We are an open-source community - anyone can contribute. We check each other's work, communicate and collaborate to solve problems. We strive to be welcoming, respectful, yet make sure that our code follows the latest programming guidelines.
