Maximum Sum Subarray Sum upto k
Given an array nums and a target value k, find the maximum sum of a subarray that sums less than or equal to k. If there isn't one, return 0 instead.
Note:
The sum of the entire nums array is guaranteed to fit within the 32-bit signed integer range.
The sum of the entire nums array is guaranteed to fit within the 32-bit signed integer range.
Example 1:
Input: nums =[1, -1, 5, -2, 3]
, k = 4 Output: 4 Explanation: The subarray[1, -1, 5, -2]
sums to 3 and is closest <= k.
Example 2:
Input: nums =[3, -1, 2, 7]
, k = 5 Output: 4 Explanation: The subarray[3, -1, 2]
sums to 4 and is closest <= 5.

Intuition
Sub array sum => preprocess input to get range sum in const time => create prefix sum
Sum from i to j = prefix[j] - prefix[i - 1], length of subarray = j - 1
Problem reduces to Max (prefix[j] - prefix[i - 1]) such that prefix[j] - prefix[i] <= k
Instead of brute force, we can lookup complement prefix[index] - k from Tree Set
If such complement exists, check if its potentially greater than previous answer
