Console.WriteLine("Start : {0} End : {1} Total {2} Loops {3}",
bestStart, bestEnd, bestTotal, loops);

RangeFinder.MaxSum3(
data, out bestStart, out bestEnd, out bestTotal, out loops);

Console.WriteLine("Start : {0} End : {1} Total {2} Loops {3}",
bestStart, bestEnd, bestTotal, loops);

the question is how to decipher this the following pseudo code:


For every possible start position // every array index in turn
For every possible end position // rest of array from current start
{ Set subtotal to 0 For every value in subseq // between current start and end Add profit value to subtotal
Update subseq info when subtotal exceeds current best total
}

Initially you can ignore the loops variable shown as an output parameter of the MaxSum method, and just concentrate on creating a program which returns the bestStart, bestEnd and bestTotal values. Note that you can use the Length property of the data array to determine how large it is

im struggling to understand or decipher this can anyone help

What I have tried:

{
bestTotal = 0;
bestStart = 0;
bestEnd = 0;
loops = 0;
for
(int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("Value {0}", data[i]);
}

}
