Maximum Subarray

Maximum Subarray
Find the contiguous subarray within an array (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum.
For example, given the array [−2,1,−3,4,−1,2,1,−5,4],
the contiguous subarray [4,−1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.
class Solution {
public:
    int maxSubArray(int A[], int n) {
        // Start typing your C/C++ solution below
        // DO NOT write int main() function
        if (!A || !n) return 0;
        int m = A[0];
        int sumSoFar = 0;
        
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
            sumSoFar += A[i];
            if (sumSoFar > m) {
                m = sumSoFar;
            }
            if (sumSoFar < 0) {
                sumSoFar = 0;
            }
        }
        
        return m;
    }
};
