Question
Given n non-negative integers representing the histogram’s bar height where the width of each bar is 1, find the area of largest rectangle in the histogram.
Above is a histogram where width of each bar is 1, given height = [2,1,5,6,2,3].
The largest rectangle is shown in the shaded area, which has area = 10 unit.
For example,
Given heights = [2,1,5,6,2,3],
return 10.
Code
public int largestRectangleArea(int[] height) {
if (height == null || height.length == 0) {
return 0;
}
Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<Integer>();
int max = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= height.length; i++) {
int curt = (i == height.length) ? -1 : height[i];
while (!stack.isEmpty() && curt <= height[stack.peek()]) {
int h = height[stack.pop()];
int w = stack.isEmpty() ? i : i - stack.peek() - 1;
max = Math.max(max, h * w);
}
stack.push(i);
}
return max;
}
