Minimum Subarray
Given an array of integers, find the subarray with smallest sum.
Return the sum of the subarray.
Notice
The subarray should contain one integer at least.
For [1, -1, -2, 1]
, return -3
.
Analyse: Greedy. If the previous sum is larger than 0, then we shouldn't combine the current value with the previous sum. Otherwise, we should combine them together. Every time we deal with a value, we should update the minSum.
