In this video, we solve LeetCode 152: Maximum Product Subarray. This looks like a simple variation of Kadane's Algorithm, but there's a catch: negative numbers! I'll show you why standard logic fails and how to track both the minimum and maximum products to solve this in O(N) time.

The Code Logic:
Unlike the sum problem, a negative number in a product problem can flip a minimum value into a maximum value.
1. We track max_cur (current maximum product).
2. We track min_cur (current minimum product).
3. When we see a negative number, the minimum becomes the maximum!
