Problem

Given an integer array nums, return the maximum sum of any non-empty contiguous subarray. The goal is to do better than checking all possible subarrays.

Examples

Example 1

Inputnums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4]Output6WhyThe best contiguous subarray is `[4,-1,2,1]`.

Example 2

Inputnums = [1]Output1WhyThe only subarray is `[1]`.

Constraints

`1 <= len(nums) <= 10^5`
`-10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4`
Subarray must be non-empty
