花花酱 LeetCode 1800. Maximum Ascending Subarray Sum

Given an array of positive integers nums, return the maximum possible sum of an ascending subarray in nums.

A subarray is defined as a contiguous sequence of numbers in an array.

A subarray [numsl, numsl+1, ..., numsr-1, numsr] is ascending if for all i where l <= i < r, numsi < numsi+1. Note that a subarray of size 1 is ascending.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [10,20,30,5,10,50]
Output: 65
Explanation: [5,10,50] is the ascending subarray with the maximum sum of 65.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [10,20,30,40,50]
Output: 150
Explanation: [10,20,30,40,50] is the ascending subarray with the maximum sum of 150.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [12,17,15,13,10,11,12]
Output: 33
Explanation: [10,11,12] is the ascending subarray with the maximum sum of 33.

Example 4:

Input: nums = [100,10,1]
Output: 100

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 100
• 1 <= nums[i] <= 100

Solution: Running sum with resetting

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)

Track the running sum and reset it to zero if nums[i] <= nums[i – 1]
