You are given a 0-indexed array nums consisting of positive integers.

\n\n

You can do the following operation on the array any number of times:

\n\n\n\n

Return the value of the largest element that you can possibly obtain in the final array.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [2,3,7,9,3]\nOutput: 21\nExplanation: We can apply the following operations on the array:\n- Choose i = 0. The resulting array will be nums = [5,7,9,3].\n- Choose i = 1. The resulting array will be nums = [5,16,3].\n- Choose i = 0. The resulting array will be nums = [21,3].\nThe largest element in the final array is 21. It can be shown that we cannot obtain a larger element.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [5,3,3]\nOutput: 11\nExplanation: We can do the following operations on the array:\n- Choose i = 1. The resulting array will be nums = [5,6].\n- Choose i = 0. The resulting array will be nums = [11].\nThere is only one element in the final array, which is 11.\n
