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

A subarray is a contiguous part of an array.

Examples

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4]

Output: 6

Explanation: The subarray [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum 6.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1]

Output: 1

Explanation: The subarray [1] has the largest sum 1.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [5,4,-1,7,8]

Output: 23

Explanation: The subarray [5,4,-1,7,8] has the largest sum 23.

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • -10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4
