Find the contiguous subarray within an array (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum.
For example, given the array [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4], the contiguous subarray [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.

If you have figured out the O(n) solution, try coding another solution using the divide and conquer approach, which is more subtle. ?
class Solution(object):
def maxSubArray(self, nums):
"""
:type nums: List[int]
:rtype: int
"""
if len(nums) == 0:
return 0
preSum = maxSum = nums[0]
for i in xrange(1, len(nums)):
preSum = max(preSum + nums[i], nums[i])
maxSum = max(maxSum, preSum)
return maxSum
