An array is given, find length of the subarray having maximum sum.
Examples :
Input : a[] = {1, -2, 1, 1, -2, 1}
Output : Length of the subarray is 2
Explanation: Subarray with consecutive elements
and maximum sum will be {1, 1}. So length is 2
Input : ar[] = { -2, -3, 4, -1, -2, 1, 5, -3 }
Output : Length of the subarray is 5
Explanation: Subarray with consecutive elements
and maximum sum will be {4, -1, -2, 1, 5}.
This problem is mainly a variation of Largest Sum Contiguous Subarray Problem.
The idea is to update starting index whenever sum ending here becomes less than 0.
PHP
<?php// Function to find the maximum contiguous subarray// and print its starting and end indexfunction maxSubArraySum($a, $size) { $max_so_far = PHP_INT_MIN; $max_ending_here = 0; $start = 0; $end = 0; $s = 0; for ($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++) { $max_ending_here += $a[$i]; if ($max_so_far < $max_ending_here) { $max_so_far = $max_ending_here; $start = $s; $end = $i; } if ($max_ending_here < 0) { $max_ending_here = 0; $s = $i + 1; } } return ($end - $start + 1);}/*Driver program to test maxSubArraySum*/$a = [-2, -3, 4, -1, -2, 1, 5, -3];$n = count($a);echo maxSubArraySum($a, $n);?> |
Output
5
Time Complexity: O(N) where N is size of the input array. This is because a for loop is executing from 1 to size of the array.
Space Complexity: O(1) as no extra space has been taken.
