This PR adds an implementation of Kadane's Algorithm, an efficient dynamic programming approach to solve the Maximum Subarray Sum problem in O(n) time. Initializes current and global maximum values.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Bug: A naive solution may try all subarrays using nested loops (O(n²) or worse), which is too slow for large inputs. Expected: Use Kadane’s Algorithm (O(n)), which efficiently updates the running sum ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...
