Program to find the largest sum of contiguous integers in the array. O(n)..

Answer / jjaspirin

I came to this website looking for the solution and finally
ended up writing it myself. Hope this is useful for someone
else.

Here is a working solution. Set the array "a" and N_ELEMENTS
accordingly. Some cases are not covered but should be an
easy fix.

#include <stdio.h>
#define N_ELEMENTS 7

int main() {
int a[N_ELEMENTS] = {-1, 2, -3, 2, 0, 5, -11 }; // if
you change the array, make sure you change N_ELEMENTS
int i = 0;

while(a[i] < 0 && i<N_ELEMENTS) {
i++;
}

if (a[i] < 0) {

printf ("DEBUG: array with only negative numbers.
Print the smallest negative number as the sum and we are
done.\n");

}

int sum_p=0, sum_n = 0;
int largest_sum = 0;

while (i<N_ELEMENTS) {
if (a[i] > 0) {
sum_p += a[i];

}
else {
sum_n += a[i];

}

if (sum_p+sum_n > largest_sum) {
largest_sum = sum_p + sum_n;

}

if (sum_p+sum_n <= 0) {
// find the next positive number
while(a[i] < 0 && i<N_ELEMENTS) {
i++;
}
if (a[i] < 0 || i == N_ELEMENTS) {
break;

}

sum_p = 0;
sum_n = 0;

} else {
i++;
}
}

printf ("DEBUG: The largest consecutive sum = %d\n",
largest_sum);

}

Answer / somebody

Guys..Answer 3 is correct..When there are -ve
numbers..maximum sum is 0.U should not consider any elements
at all..Coz null set which has maximum sum.i.e 0.So the 4th
ans is right.

Answer / dilip

i think ths program doesnt not work when the sum is
negative.. cant we not work around it by setting the max as
somelarge negative value and comparing with that??

Answer / deepika jadav

the cod is written in c#...similar to java and c.....so interpret it accordingly..

static void Main(string[] args)
{
//int[] arr={2,3,-5,-2,-2,5,6,7,8,-2,3,4};
int[] arr = {-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7 };
int max=0;
int sum=0;

int min = 0;
int flag = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length;i++)
{
if (arr[i] < 0)
{
sum = 0;
flag++;
if(flag==1)
min = arr[i];
if (flag == arr.Length)
Console.WriteLine("The smallest no amogst negative nos is {0} hence the largest aum is {1}",min,min);
if (min < arr[i])
min = arr[i];
continue;
}
else
{
sum = sum + arr[i];
}

if (max < sum)
max = sum;


}
if(flag!=arr.Length)
Console.WriteLine("the Largest Sum is {0}",max);
Console.ReadLine();
}
