<p>You are given a <strong>0-indexed</strong> 2D integer array <code>questions</code> where <code>questions[i] = [points<sub>i</sub>, brainpower<sub>i</sub>]</code>.</p> <p>The array describes the questions of an exam, where you have to process the questions <strong>in order</strong> (i.e., starting from question <code>0</code>) and make a decision whether to <strong>solve</strong> or <strong>skip</strong> each question. Solving question <code>i</code> will <strong>earn</strong> you <code>points<sub>i</sub></code> points but you will be <strong>unable</strong> to solve each of the next <code>brainpower<sub>i</sub></code> questions. If you skip question <code>i</code>, you get to make the decision on the next question.</p> <ul> <li>For example, given <code>questions = [[3, 2], [4, 3], [4, 4], [2, 5]]</code>: <ul> <li>If question <code>0</code> is solved, you will earn <code>3</code> points but you will be unable to solve questions <code>1</code> and <code>2</code>.</li> <li>If instead, question <code>0</code> is skipped and question <code>1</code> is solved, you will earn <code>4</code> points but you will be unable to solve questions <code>2</code> and <code>3</code>.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Return <em>the <strong>maximum</strong> points you can earn for the exam</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> questions = [[3,2],[4,3],[4,4],[2,5]] <strong>Output:</strong> 5 <strong>Explanation:</strong> The maximum points can be earned by solving questions 0 and 3. - Solve question 0: Earn 3 points, will be unable to solve the next 2 questions - Unable to solve questions 1 and 2 - Solve question 3: Earn 2 points Total points earned: 3 + 2 = 5. There is no other way to earn 5 or more points. </pre> <p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> questions = [[1,1],[2,2],[3,3],[4,4],[5,5]] <strong>Output:</strong> 7 <strong>Explanation:</strong> The maximum points can be earned by solving questions 1 and 4. - Skip question 0 - Solve question 1: Earn 2 points, will be unable to solve the next 2 questions - Unable to solve questions 2 and 3 - Solve question 4: Earn 5 points Total points earned: 2 + 5 = 7. There is no other way to earn 7 or more points. </pre> <p> </p> <p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p> <ul> <li><code>1 <= questions.length <= 10<sup>5</sup></code></li> <li><code>questions[i].length == 2</code></li> <li><code>1 <= points<sub>i</sub>, brainpower<sub>i</sub> <= 10<sup>5</sup></code></li> </ul>
