"""
The maximum subarray sum problem is the task of finding the maximum sum that can be
obtained from a contiguous subarray within a given array of numbers. For example, given
the array [-2, 1, -3, 4, -1, 2, 1, -5, 4], the contiguous subarray with the maximum sum
is [4, -1, 2, 1], so the maximum subarray sum is 6.

Kadane's algorithm is a simple dynamic programming algorithm that solves the maximum
subarray sum problem in O(n) time and O(1) space.
