You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums and an integer k.
You are initially standing at index 0. In one move, you can jump at most k steps forward without going outside the boundaries of the array. That is, you can jump from index i to any index in the range [i + 1, min(n - 1, i + k)]inclusive.
You want to reach the last index of the array (index n - 1). Your score is the sum of all nums[j] for each index j you visited in the array.
Return the maximum score you can get.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,-1,-2,4,-7,3], k = 2
Output: 7
Explanation: You can choose your jumps forming the subsequence [1,-1,4,3] (underlined above). The sum is 7.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [10,-5,-2,4,0,3], k = 3
Output: 17
Explanation: You can choose your jumps forming the subsequence [10,4,3] (underlined above). The sum is 17.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1,-5,-20,4,-1,3,-6,-3], k = 2
Output: 0
We define $f[i]$ as the maximum score when reaching index $i$. The value of $f[i]$ can be transferred from $f[j]$, where $j$ satisfies $i - k \leq j \leq i - 1$. Therefore, we can use dynamic programming to solve this problem.
We can use a monotonic queue to optimize the state transition equation. Specifically, we maintain a monotonically decreasing queue, which stores the index $j$, and the $f[j]$ values corresponding to the indices in the queue are monotonically decreasing. When performing state transition, we only need to take out the index $j$ at the front of the queue to get the maximum value of $f[j]$, and then update the value of $f[i]$ to $f[j] + nums[i]$.
The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array.
