Description
You are given an integer array nums and two integers, k and limit. Your task is to find a non-empty subsequence of nums that:
- Has an alternating sum equal to k.
- Maximizes the product of all its numbers without the product exceeding limit.
Return the product of the numbers in such a subsequence. If no subsequence satisfies the requirements, return -1.
The alternating sum of a 0-indexed array is defined as the sum of the elements at even indices minus the sum of the elements at odd indices.
