# Additive number is a positive integer whose digits can form additive sequence.
#
# A valid additive sequence should contain at least three numbers.
# Except for the first two numbers, each subsequent number in the sequence
# must be the sum of the preceding two.
#
# For example:
# "112358" is an additive number because the digits can form an additive sequence:
#   1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.
#
# 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 3 = 5, 3 + 5 = 8
# "199100199" is also an additive number, the additive sequence is:
# 1, 99, 100, 199.
#
# 1 + 99 = 100, 99 + 100 = 199
# Note: Numbers in the additive sequence cannot have leading zeros,
# so sequence 1, 2, 03 or 1, 02, 3 is invalid.
#
# Given a string represents an integer, write a function to determine
# if it's an additive number.
#
# Follow up:
# How would you handle overflow for very large input integers?
