This approach involves using dynamic programming with a sliding window to maintain the maximum sum at each position. For each position i in the array, calculate the maximum sum that can be achieved till that position, considering the constraint j - i <= k. Use a deque to track the indices which offer the maximum sum within the range of k.
Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of elements in the array nums. The space complexity is O(n) due to the storage of the dp array and deque.

16            dp[i] = nums[i] + (deque.Count == 0 ? 0 : dp[deque.First.Value]);
17            maxSum = Math.Max(maxSum, dp[i]);
18            while (deque.Count > 0 && dp[deque.Last.Value] <= dp[i]) {
19                deque.RemoveLast();

32}This C# solution works similarly to other languages shown above, utilizing a double-ended queue for optimal management of the sliding window maximum calculation.
By using a priority queue (or heap), we manage the maximum possible sum within the constraint more efficiently. We employ dynamic programming to calculate the possible maximal sum at each index while maintaining a priority queue to keep track of the relevant maximum sums.
Time Complexity: O(n log k) primarily due to heap operations. Space Complexity: O(n) is utilized by the dp array and the heap.

    pq.push({nums[0], 0});
    int maxSum = nums[0];

        while (!pq.empty() && pq.top().second < i - k) {
            pq.pop();
        }
        int sum = nums[i];
        if (!pq.empty()) {
            sum += pq.top().first;
        }
        dp[i] = sum;
        pq.push({dp[i], i});
        maxSum = max(maxSum, dp[i]);
    }
    return maxSum;
}
int main() {
    vector<int> nums = {10, 2, -10, 5, 20};

    return 0;
}C++ uses a max-heap (priority queue) to track potential maxima. It provides a compact way to check out the maximums across a moving window efficiently.
