        // 1) if we meet a left edge, then we add its height into a `set`.
        //    the `set` whould sort the height automatically.
        // 2) if we meet a right edge, then we remove its height from the `set`
        //
        // So, we could get the current highest height from the `set`, if the 
        // current height is different with preivous height, then we need add
        // it into the result.
