#152 Maximum Product Subarray

APPROACH

Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray with the largest product and return that product.

The answer is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.

A subarray consisting of a single element has a product equal to that element's value.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,3,-2,4]
Output: 6
Explanation: [2,3] has the largest product 6.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-2,0,-1]
Output: 0
Explanation: The result cannot be 2, because [-2,-1] is not a subarray.
