Given an array of numbers, find the maximum sum of any contiguous subarray of the array.


For example, given the array [34, -50, 42, 14, -5, 86], the maximum sum would be 137, since we would take elements 42, 14, -5, and 86.


Given the array [-5, -1, -8, -9], the maximum sum would be -1.


Follow up: Do this in O(N) time.

You are given a list of “N” strings A. Your task is to check whether you can form a given target string using a combination of one or more strings of A.

Note :
You can use any string of A multiple times.
Examples :
A =[“coding”, ”ninjas”, “is”, “awesome”]  target = “codingninjas”
Ans = true as we use “coding” and “ninjas” to form “codingninjas”
Problem approach

Tip 1 : I use a boolean vector dp[]. dp[i] is set to true if a valid word (word sequence) ends there. The optimization is to look from current position i back and only substring and do dictionary look up in case the preceding position j with dp[j] == true is found.

You are given an array 'arr' consisting of 'n' integers which denote the position of a stall.


You are also given an integer 'k' which denotes the number of aggressive cows.


You are given the task of assigning stalls to 'k' cows such that the minimum distance between any two of them is the maximum possible.



Example:
Input: 'n' = 3, 'k' = 2 and 'arr' = {1, 2, 3}
