CPP Maximum SubArray Sum1

#1

maximumSum should be initialized to negative infinity instead of 0. This will handle the case where the array has only negative integers.

#2

Hey Kannappan, yes you are right maximumSum should be initialized to negative infinity or first element of the array instead of 0, but what’s your doubt int this ?

#3

hi, it is not a doubt. it is a correction that needs to be made to one of the videos where the initialization is done as 0. The video with title as CPP Maximum SubArray Sum1.

#4

Hey Kannappan, in that video it is assumed that all the elements of the array will be positive.

Thank you Sanjeet! That answers my question.
