 * sum of a contiguous subarray in linear time.

    /**
     * Computes the maximum subarray sum using Kadane's Algorithm and checks
     * if it matches a predicted answer.
     *
     * @param a              The input array of integers for which the maximum
     *                       subarray sum is to be calculated.
     * @param predictedAnswer The expected maximum subarray sum to be verified
     *                       against the computed sum.
     * @return true if the computed maximum subarray sum equals the predicted
     *         answer, false otherwise.
     *
     * <p>Example:</p>
     * <pre>
     * Input: {89, 56, 98, 123, 26, 75, 12, 40, 39, 68, 91}
     * Output: true if the maximum subarray sum is equal to the
     *         predicted answer.
     * </pre>
     *
     * <p>Algorithmic Complexity:</p>
     * <ul>
     * <li>Time Complexity: O(n) - the algorithm iterates through the array once.</li>
     * <li>Auxiliary Space Complexity: O(1) - only a constant amount of additional space is used.</li>
     * </ul>
