tomatocream 1dec88aaf2 feat: populate note files with problem descriptions and code stubs
Add populate-notes.mjs that fetches problem descriptions and
Python/C++ code stubs from LeetCode's GraphQL API. Populated
all 197 NeetCode 150 note files with:
- Problem description (examples, constraints)
- Python code stub (function signature)
- C++ code stub (function signature + includes)

API responses cached in leetcode/.cache/leetcode/ for instant re-runs.

TODO 0084. Largest Rectangle In Histogram   hard

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

Constraints:

  • 1 <= heights.length <= 10^{5}
  • 0 <= heights[i] <= 10^{4}

TODO Approach

Write your approach here.

TODO Python

class Solution:
    def largestRectangleArea(self, heights: List[int]) -> int:

TODO C++

class Solution {
public:
    int largestRectangleArea(vector<int>& heights) {
        
    }
};
