### Problem Statement

A group of vertical blocks are placed densely one after another on the ground. The blocks each have a width of 1, but their heights may vary. For example, if the heights of the vertical blocks are given as {1,5,5,1,6,1}, the configuration would look like the following picture:

Your task is to reproduce the exact shape of this structure using some number of non-intersecting rectangles. You will be given a vector <int> heights representing the heights of the vertical blocks from left to right. Return the minimal number of rectangles necessary to perform this task with the given configuration of blocks.

### Definition

 Class: BlockStructure Method: cover Parameters: vector Returns: int Method signature: int cover(vector heights) (be sure your method is public)

### Constraints

- heights will have between 1 and 50 elements, inclusive.
- Each element of heights will be between 1 and 1000, inclusive.

### Examples

0)

 {1,5,5,1,6,1}
Returns: 3
 We can use rectangles with sizes 6x1, 2x4 and 1x5.
1)

 {2,2,2,4,4}
Returns: 2
 We can use a 3x2 rectangle and a 2x4 rectangle.
2)

 {6,6,6,6,6,6}
Returns: 1
 The structure is a rectangle.
3)

 {71,44,95,16,10,80,12,17,98,61}
Returns: 10
 It's impossible to use less than 10 rectangles.
4)

 {100,100,97,100,100,100,97,98,99,99}
Returns: 5
