Hi Every One,

I have improved my algorithm going from back to forward, but this time it also goes from left to right.

You keep a current max, and current sum

3 2 8 9 -25 5 8 4 4 -3 5 3 -10

current sum 3 5 13 22 0 5 13 17 21 18 23 26 16

current max 3 5 13 22 22 22 22 22 22 22 23 26 26

When I reach -25. I update current sum and it is negtiave, so I start the current sum from here again from scratch.

This method can even accept infinite numbers coming from an outside source, so it is on the fly algorithm which uses greedy methods

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
