Split Array Largest Sum
<p>Given an integer array <code>nums</code> and an integer <code>k</code>, split <code>nums</code> into <code>k</code> non-empty subarrays such that the largest sum of any subarray is <strong>minimized</strong>.</p>

<p>Return <em>the minimized largest sum of the split</em>.</p>

<p>A <strong>subarray</strong> is a contiguous part of the array.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [7,2,5,10,8], k = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> 18
<strong>Explanation:</strong> There are four ways to split nums into two subarrays.
The best way is to split it into [7,2,5] and [10,8], where the largest sum among the two subarrays is only 18.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [1,2,3,4,5], k = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> 9
<strong>Explanation:</strong> There are four ways to split nums into two subarrays.
The best way is to split it into [1,2,3] and [4,5], where the largest sum among the two subarrays is only 9.
