Problem
Given a 1-indexed integer array prices
, where prices[i]
is the price of a particular stock on the ith
day, your task is to select some of the elements of prices
such that your selection is linear.
A selection indexes
, where indexes
is a 1-indexed integer array of length k
which is a subsequence of the array [1, 2, ..., n]
, is linear if:
- For every
1 < j <= k
,prices[indexes[j]] - prices[indexes[j - 1]] == indexes[j] - indexes[j - 1]
.
A subsequence is an array that can be derived from another array by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.
The score of a selection indexes
, is equal to the sum of the following array: [prices[indexes[1]], prices[indexes[2]], ..., prices[indexes[k]]
.
Return the maximum score that a linear selection can have.

Example 1:
Input: prices = [1,5,3,7,8] Output: 20 Explanation: We can select the indexes [2,4,5]. We show that our selection is linear: For j = 2, we have: indexes[2] - indexes[1] = 4 - 2 = 2. prices[4] - prices[2] = 7 - 5 = 2. For j = 3, we have: indexes[3] - indexes[2] = 5 - 4 = 1. prices[5] - prices[4] = 8 - 7 = 1. The sum of the elements is: prices[2] + prices[4] + prices[5] = 20. It can be shown that the maximum sum a linear selection can have is 20.
Example 2:
Input: prices = [5,6,7,8,9] Output: 35 Explanation: We can select all of the indexes [1,2,3,4,5]. Since each element has a difference of exactly 1 from its previous element, our selection is linear. The sum of all the elements is 35 which is the maximum possible some out of every selection.

Constraints:
1 <= prices.length <= 105
1 <= prices[i] <= 109
