Size of The Subarray With Maximum Sum

An array is given, find length of the subarray having maximum sum.

Examples :

Input :  a[] = {1, -2, 1, 1, -2, 1}
Output : Length of the subarray is 2
Explanation : Subarray with consecutive elements 
and maximum sum will be {1, 1}. So length is 2

Input : ar[] = { -2, -3, 4, -1, -2, 1, 5, -3 }
Output : Length of the subarray is 5
Explanation : Subarray with consecutive elements 
and maximum sum will be {4, -1, -2, 1, 5}. 

This problem is mainly a variation of Largest Sum Contiguous Subarray Problem.
The idea is to update starting index whenever sum ending here becomes less than 0.

Implementation:

C++

// C++ program to print length of the largest
// contiguous array sum
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int maxSubArraySum(int a[], int size)
{
    int max_so_far = INT_MIN, max_ending_here = 0,
       start =0, end = 0, s=0;

    for (int i=0; i< size; i++ )
    {
        max_ending_here += a[i];

        if (max_so_far < max_ending_here)
        {
            max_so_far = max_ending_here;
            start = s;
            end = i;
        }

        if (max_ending_here < 0)
        {
            max_ending_here = 0;
            s = i + 1;
        }
    }

    return (end - start + 1);
}

/*Driver program to test maxSubArraySum*/
int main()
{
    int a[] = {-2, -3, 4, -1, -2, 1, 5, -3};
    int n = sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]);
    cout << maxSubArraySum(a, n);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to print length of the largest
// contiguous array sum
class GFG {

    static int maxSubArraySum(int a[], int size)
    {
        int max_so_far = Integer.MIN_VALUE,
        max_ending_here = 0,start = 0,
        end = 0, s = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
        {
            max_ending_here += a[i];

            if (max_so_far < max_ending_here)
            {
                max_so_far = max_ending_here;
                start = s;
                end = i;
            }

            if (max_ending_here < 0)
            {
                max_ending_here = 0;
                s = i + 1;
            }
        }
        return (end - start + 1);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int a[] = { -2, -3, 4, -1, -2, 1, 5, -3 };
        int n = a.length;
        System.out.println(maxSubArraySum(a, n));
    }
}
