Maximum Erasure Value

Medium

You receive an array of positive integers nums and want to erase a subarray containing unique elements . The score you get by erasing the subarray is equal to the sum of its elements.

Produce the maximum score you can get by erasing exactly one subarray.

An list b is called to be a subarray of a if it forms a contiguous subsequence of a , that is, if it is equal to a[l],a[l+1],...,a[r] for some (l,r) .

Example 1

Input: nums = [4,2,4,5,6]

Output: 17

Explanation: The optimal subarray here is [2,4,5,6].

Example 2

Input: nums = [5,2,1,2,5,2,1,2,5]

Output: 8

Explanation: The optimal subarray here is [5,2,1] or [1,2,5].

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^4
