+// We can use a dp array to store the maximum points that can be earned up to each number.
+// We first find the maximum number in the input array to determine the size of the dp array.
+// We then create an array arr where arr[i] represents the total points that can be earned by deleting all instances of number i in the input array.
+// We then fill the dp array using the following recurrence relation:
+// dp[i] = max(dp[i - 1], arr[i] + dp[i - 2])
+// This means that for each number i, we can either choose to delete it and earn the points from arr[i] plus the maximum points earned up to i-2, or we can choose to skip it and take the maximum points earned up to i-1. 
+// We return dp[max] as the final answer, which represents the maximum points that can be earned by deleting numbers from
