         * Let miss be the smallest sum in [0,n] that we might be missing. Meaning we already know we
         * can build all sums in [0,miss). Then if we have a number num <= miss in the given array, we
         * can add it to those smaller sums to build all sums in [0,miss+num). If we don't, then we must
         * add such a number to the array, and it's best to add miss itself, to maximize the reach.
         * <p>
         * Example: Let's say the input is nums = [1, 2, 4, 13, 43] and n = 100. We need to ensure that
         * all sums in the range [1,100] are possible. Using the given numbers 1, 2 and 4, we can
         * already build all sums from 0 to 7, i.e., the range [0,8). But we can't build the sum 8, and
         * the next given number (13) is too large. So we insert 8 into the array. Then we can build all
         * sums in [0,16). Do we need to insert 16 into the array? No! We can already build the sum 3,
         * and adding the given 13 gives us sum 16. We can also add the 13 to the other sums, extending
         * our range to [0,29). And so on. The given 43 is too large to help with sum 29, so we must
         * insert 29 into our array. This extends our range to [0,58). But then the 43 becomes useful
         * and expands our range to [0,101). At which point we're done.
