Solution: Identify the Largest Outlier in an Array
Explore methods to identify the largest outlier in an integer array where two special elements exist: a sum element and an outlier. Understand how to use hash maps for frequency tracking and apply problem-solving strategies to distinguish values based on sum properties. This lesson enhances your skills in handling array-based algorithmic challenges effectively.

Statement
You are given an integer array nums with n elements, where exactly n - 2 elements are special numbers. Among the remaining two elements, one is the sum of all special numbers, and the other is the outlier.
An outlier is an element that is neither a special number nor the sum of the special numbers. Your task is to return the largest possible outlier in nums.
Note: The special numbers, the sum element, and the outlier must be located at distinct indices, but they may have the same value.
