maximum subarray sum problem code example

Example: max subsequence sum in array

def max_subarray(numbers):
    """Find the largest sum of any contiguous subarray."""
    best_sum = 0  # or: float('-inf')
    current_sum = 0
    for x in numbers:
        current_sum = max(0, current_sum + x)
        best_sum = max(best_sum, current_sum)
    return best_sum
