Given a binary list containing only 0s and 1s, return the maximum number of consecutive 1s. Return 0 for a null or empty list.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1] Output: 3 Explanation: The longest run of consecutive 1s is the three at the end of the list.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1, 1, 1] Output: 3 Explanation: All elements are 1, so the entire list is one consecutive run.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [0, 0, 0] Output: 0 Explanation: There are no 1s in the list, so the maximum consecutive count is zero.

Example 4:

Input: nums = [] Output: 0 Explanation: An empty list contains no elements, so the result is zero.
