Problem
# Given n non-negative integers representing an elevation map where the width of each bar is 1,
# compute how much water it is able to trap after raining.
#
# For example,
# Given [0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1], return 6.
# The above elevation map is represented by array [0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1].
# In this case, 6 units of rain water (blue section) are being trapped.
