What is Largest Rectangle in Histogram?

Given an array of bar heights, find the area of the largest rectangle that fits in the histogram. A monotonic stack tracks bars in increasing order of height, and each time a shorter bar is encountered, rectangles extending from the previous bars are resolved. This is one of the hardest stack problems and teaches you to use a stack to resolve pending computations when a condition breaks.
