2555\. Maximize Win From Two Segments

Medium

There are some prizes on the **X-axis**. You are given an integer array `prizePositions` that is **sorted in non-decreasing order**, where `prizePositions[i]` is the position of the ith prize. There could be different prizes at the same position on the line. You are also given an integer `k`.

You are allowed to select two segments with integer endpoints. The length of each segment must be `k`. You will collect all prizes whose position falls within at least one of the two selected segments (including the endpoints of the segments). The two selected segments may intersect.

*   For example if `k = 2`, you can choose segments `[1, 3]` and `[2, 4]`, and you will win any prize i that satisfies `1 <= prizePositions[i] <= 3` or `2 <= prizePositions[i] <= 4`.

Return _the **maximum** number of prizes you can win if you choose the two segments optimally_.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** prizePositions = [1,1,2,2,3,3,5], k = 2

**Output:** 7

**Explanation:**

In this example, you can win all 7 prizes by selecting two segments [1, 3] and [3, 5].

**Example 2:**

**Input:** prizePositions = [1,2,3,4], k = 0

**Output:** 2

**Explanation:**

For this example, **one choice** for the segments is `[3, 3]` and `[4, 4],` and you will be able to get `2` prizes.

**Constraints:**

*   1 <= prizePositions.length <= 105
*   1 <= prizePositions[i] <= 109
*   0 <= k <= 109
*   `prizePositions` is sorted in non-decreasing order.
