53\. Maximum Subarray
Easy
Given an integer array `nums`, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return _its sum_.
A **subarray** is a **contiguous** part of an array.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** nums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4]
**Output:** 6
**Explanation:** [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.
**Example 2:**
**Input:** nums = [1]
**Output:** 1
**Example 3:**
**Input:** nums = [5,4,-1,7,8]
**Output:** 23
**Constraints:**
* 1 <= nums.length <= 105
* -104 <= nums[i] <= 104
**Follow up:** If you have figured out the `O(n)` solution, try coding another solution using the **divide and conquer** approach, which is more subtle.
