<p>You are given an integer array <code>nums</code>. You want to maximize the number of points you get by performing the following operation any number of times:</p> <ul> <li>Pick any <code>nums[i]</code> and delete it to earn <code>nums[i]</code> points. Afterwards, you must delete <b>every</b> element equal to <code>nums[i] - 1</code> and <strong>every</strong> element equal to <code>nums[i] + 1</code>.</li> </ul> <p>Return <em>the <strong>maximum number of points</strong> you can earn by applying the above operation some number of times</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> nums = [3,4,2] <strong>Output:</strong> 6 <strong>Explanation:</strong> You can perform the following operations: - Delete 4 to earn 4 points. Consequently, 3 is also deleted. nums = [2]. - Delete 2 to earn 2 points. nums = []. You earn a total of 6 points. </pre> <p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> nums = [2,2,3,3,3,4] <strong>Output:</strong> 9 <strong>Explanation:</strong> You can perform the following operations: - Delete a 3 to earn 3 points. All 2's and 4's are also deleted. nums = [3,3]. - Delete a 3 again to earn 3 points. nums = [3]. - Delete a 3 once more to earn 3 points. nums = []. You earn a total of 9 points.</pre> <p> </p> <p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p> <ul> <li><code>1 <= nums.length <= 2 * 10<sup>4</sup></code></li> <li><code>1 <= nums[i] <= 10<sup>4</sup></code></li> </ul>
