Maximum Sum Subarray

#1

I can’t understand why in the optimised solution video (!4th video of array subsection) have we used

csum[i]+=csum[i-1]+a[i]

and not

csum[i]=csum[i-1]+a[i]

hi @anikapassi17_6ce74879d4a8438b it doestnt matter here as csum[i] is 0 initially, u can do both ways

#3

you mean for i=0 csum[i]=0, but what about other values, I am still not able to understand clearly

#4

@anikapassi17_6ce74879d4a8438b do a dry run on paper (you mean for i=0 csum[i]=0 yes)
