Why should you care?

Most Easy/Medium problems start as arrays in C#.

See it live — copy this example

Run snippets in a .NET console app, LINQPad, or https://dotnetfiddle.net. Write Big O above every solution.

// Kadane's Maximum Subarray
var a = new[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
// Apply the pattern for: Kadane's Maximum Subarray
Console.WriteLine(a.Length);

What happened?

• Start from an array, then apply the pattern with clear indices.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Type the snippet in a C# console or LINQPad.
2. Write Big O on top of your solution.
3. Test empty / single-element edge cases.
4. Add a failing test then fix it.
5. Rename variables to domain words.

Remember

You can code a small C# example for Kadane's Maximum Subarray. You know the complexity class. You tested at least one edge case.
