Given a 0-indexed integer array nums, find the leftmost middleIndex (i.e., the smallest amongst all the possible ones).

\n\n

A middleIndex is an index where nums[0] + nums[1] + ... + nums[middleIndex-1] == nums[middleIndex+1] + nums[middleIndex+2] + ... + nums[nums.length-1].

\n\n

If middleIndex == 0, the left side sum is considered to be 0. Similarly, if middleIndex == nums.length - 1, the right side sum is considered to be 0.

\n\n

Return the leftmost middleIndex that satisfies the condition, or -1 if there is no such index.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [2,3,-1,8,4]\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: The sum of the numbers before index 3 is: 2 + 3 + -1 = 4\nThe sum of the numbers after index 3 is: 4 = 4\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [1,-1,4]\nOutput: 2\nExplanation: The sum of the numbers before index 2 is: 1 + -1 = 0\nThe sum of the numbers after index 2 is: 0\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [2,5]\nOutput: -1\nExplanation: There is no valid middleIndex.\n
