Optimizing Code for Memory | Dataford Interview Questions

How would you optimize this specific code snippet for memory usage?

Implement a function optimize_memory(nums) that returns the sum of all integers in nums using the least extra memory possible. The input is a list of integers, and the output is a single integer sum.

Constraints

1 <= len(nums) <= 10^5
-10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
The result fits in Python's integer type

Function Signature

def optimize_memory(nums):
