Description

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
