You are given an integer array nums and a non-negative integer k. A sequence of integers seq is called good if there are at most k indices i in the range [0, seq.length - 2] such that seq[i] != seq[i + 1].

Return the maximum possible length of a good subsequence of nums.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,1,1,3], k = 2

Output: 4

Explanation:

The maximum length subsequence is [1,2,1,1,3].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5,1], k = 0

Output: 2

Explanation:

The maximum length subsequence is [1,2,3,4,5,1].

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 500
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 109
  • 0 <= k <= min(nums.length, 25)

Hints

Hint 1
The absolute values in nums don’t really matter. So we can remap the set of values to the range [0, n - 1].
Hint 2
Let dp[i][j] be the length of the longest subsequence till index j with at most i positions such that seq[i] != seq[i + 1].
Hint 3
For each value x from left to right, update dp[i][x] = max(dp[i][x] + 1, dp[i - 1][y] + 1), where y != x.
