Shortest Subarray with Sum at Least K - LeetCode

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the length of the shortest non-empty subarray of nums with a sum of at least k. If there is no such subarray, return -1.

A subarray is a contiguous part of an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1], k = 1
Output: 1

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2], k = 4
Output: -1

Example 3:

Input: nums = [2,-1,2], k = 3
Output: 3

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 105
• -105 <= nums[i] <= 105
• 1 <= k <= 109

1. create two loop and sum them together to find the shortest path.
2. TLE for the run time
