Solving Technique:

This is a maximum subarray summation related problem. We have to find the maximum subarray from a one-dimensional array and sum-up all values of sub array then we will get the patterns of consecutive wins that will give maximum benefit and elaborate a win-win strategy.

Using Kadane’s algorithm we can solve in O(n) time.

As Manuel wants to get rich faster and without too much work, he decided to make a career in gambling. Initially, he plans to study the gains and losses of players, so that, he can identify patterns of consecutive wins and elaborate a win-win strategy. But Manuel, as smart as he thinks he is, does not know how to program computers. So he hired you to write programs that will assist him in elaborating his strategy. 

Your first task is to write a program that identifies the maximum possible gain out of a sequence of bets. A bet is an amount of money and is either winning (and this is recorded as a positive value), or losing (and this is recorded as a negative value).
