84. Largest Rectangle in Histogram
Given an array of integers heights
representing the histogram’s bar height where the width of each bar is 1
, return the area of the largest rectangle in the histogram.
Example 1:
Input: heights = [2,1,5,6,2,3]
Output: 10
Explanation: The above is a histogram where width of each bar is 1.
The largest rectangle is shown in the red area, which has an area = 10 units.
Example 2:
Input: heights = [2,4]
Output: 4
