Maximum Product Subarray

描述

Find the contiguous subarray within an array (containing at least one number) which has the largest product.

For example, given the array [2,3,-2,4], the contiguous subarray [2,3] has the largest product = 6.

分析

这题跟“最大连续子序列和”非常类似，只不过变成了“最大连续子序列积”，所以解决思路也很类似。

仅仅有一个小细节需要注意，就是负负得正，两个负数的乘积是正数，因此我们不仅要跟踪最大值，还要跟踪最小值。

        for(int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++){
