<p>You are given an integer array <code>nums</code> with no duplicates. A <strong>maximum binary tree</strong> can be built recursively from <code>nums</code> using the following algorithm:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Create a root node whose value is the maximum value in <code>nums</code>.</li>
	<li>Recursively build the left subtree on the <strong>subarray prefix</strong> to the <strong>left</strong> of the maximum value.</li>
	<li>Recursively build the right subtree on the <strong>subarray suffix</strong> to the <strong>right</strong> of the maximum value.</li>
</ol>

<p>Return <em>the <strong>maximum binary tree</strong> built from </em><code>nums</code>.</p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [3,2,1,6,0,5]
<strong>Output:</strong> [6,3,5,null,2,0,null,null,1]
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The recursive calls are as follow:
- The largest value in [3,2,1,6,0,5] is 6. Left prefix is [3,2,1] and right suffix is [0,5].
    - The largest value in [3,2,1] is 3. Left prefix is [] and right suffix is [2,1].
        - Empty array, so no child.
        - The largest value in [2,1] is 2. Left prefix is [] and right suffix is [1].
            - Empty array, so no child.
            - Only one element, so child is a node with value 1.
    - The largest value in [0,5] is 5. Left prefix is [0] and right suffix is [].
        - Only one element, so child is a node with value 0.
        - Empty array, so no child.
