<h2><a href="https://leetcode.com/problems/constrained-subsequence-sum/">1425. Constrained Subsequence Sum</a></h2><h3>Hard</h3><hr><div><p>Given an integer array <code>nums</code> and an integer <code>k</code>, return the maximum sum of a <strong>non-empty</strong> subsequence of that array such that for every two <strong>consecutive</strong> integers in the subsequence, <code>nums[i]</code> and <code>nums[j]</code>, where <code>i &lt; j</code>, the condition <code>j - i &lt;= k</code> is satisfied.</p>

<p>A <em>subsequence</em> of an array is obtained by deleting some number of elements (can be zero) from the array, leaving the remaining elements in their original order.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> nums = [10,2,-10,5,20], k = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> 37
<b>Explanation:</b> The subsequence is [10, 2, 5, 20].
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> nums = [-1,-2,-3], k = 1
<strong>Output:</strong> -1
<b>Explanation:</b> The subsequence must be non-empty, so we choose the largest number.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> nums = [10,-2,-10,-5,20], k = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> 23
<b>Explanation:</b> The subsequence is [10, -2, -5, 20].
</pre>
