/**
 * 654. Maximum Binary Tree
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-binary-tree/
 * Difficulty: Medium
 *
 * You are given an integer array nums with no duplicates. A maximum binary tree can be built
 * recursively from nums using the following algorithm:
 * 1. Create a root node whose value is the maximum value in nums.
 * 2. Recursively build the left subtree on the subarray prefix to the left of the maximum value.
 * 3. Recursively build the right subtree on the subarray suffix to the right of the maximum value.
 *
 * Return the maximum binary tree built from nums.
