This approach uses backtracking to explore all possible pairs of elements for the operations. The goal is to maximize the sum of scores obtained from each operation. To optimize the solution, pruning is applied by avoiding redundant calculations using a memoization table. By systematically trying all combinations, we gradually eliminate suboptimal solutions and select the maximal score possible.
Time Complexity: O((2n)! / 2^n), the approach explores all possible combinations of pairs.
Space Complexity: O(2^n), for memoization array to store intermediate results.

50}This C implementation uses bit manipulation to keep track of used numbers and compute GCD pairs selectively. The recursive function 'backtrack' explores all pairs of elements, marking them as used and calculating their scores. The result is updated if a higher score is found. Memoization is added to store intermediate results to prevent recalculations.
This approach leverages dynamic programming along with bit masking to compute the maximum score possible. The idea is to use a DP state to remember the best score possible with a certain combination of pairs already taken. The state is determined by a bitmask which indicates the taken pairs. Recursively calculate the maximum possible score, storing intermediate results to avoid repeated calculations.
Time Complexity: O(n^2 * 2^n), where n is the number of elements in 'nums'.
Space Complexity: O(2^n) for the DP array.
The solution maintains a DP array where each entry dp[mask] stores the maximum score achievable for a set of already chosen pairs defined by 'mask'. The nested loops iterate over possible pairings, dynamically updating the DP array.
