Find Maximum Subarrays Using Java

The problem

Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return its sum.

Example:

Input: [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4],
Output: 6
Explanation: [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.

The code

// This method takes an array of `ints` and returns an `int`
public int maxSubArray(int[] nums) {
    // Set some `max` variables,
    // ..firstly the minimum `Integer` value
    // ..secondly `0`
    int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
    int iMax = 0;

    // Loop through all input `nums`
    for(int num : nums) {
        // increment the `iMax` each loop
        iMax = iMax + num;
        // check if `num` is bigger than `iMax`
        if(iMax < num) {
            // set `iMax` to the `num`
            iMax = num;
        }
        // set the `max` to the max of both our variables
        max = Math.max(max,iMax);
    }
    // return the `max`
    return max;
}
