Maximum Number of Books You Can Take(LeetCode 2355):

Problem

You are given a 0-indexed integer array books of length n where books[i] denotes the number of books on the ith shelf of a bookshelf.

You are going to take books from a contiguous section of the bookshelf spanning from l to r where 0 <= l <= r < n. For each index i in the range l <= i < r, you must take strictly fewer books from shelf i than shelf i + 1.

Return the maximum number of books you can take from the bookshelf.

 

Example 1:

Input: books = [8,5,2,7,9]
Output: 19
Explanation:
- Take 1 book from shelf 1.
- Take 2 books from shelf 2.
- Take 7 books from shelf 3.
- Take 9 books from shelf 4.
You have taken 19 books, so return 19.
It can be proven that 19 is the maximum number of books you can take.

Example 2:

Input: books = [7,0,3,4,5]
Output: 12
Explanation:
- Take 3 books from shelf 2.
- Take 4 books from shelf 3.
- Take 5 books from shelf 4.
You have taken 12 books so return 12.
It can be proven that 12 is the maximum number of books you can take.

Example 3:

Input: books = [8,2,3,7,3,4,0,1,4,3]
Output: 13
Explanation:
- Take 1 book from shelf 0.
- Take 2 books from shelf 1.
- Take 3 books from shelf 2.
- Take 7 books from shelf 3.
You have taken 13 books so return 13.
It can be proven that 13 is the maximum number of books you can take.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= books.length <= 105
  • 0 <= books[i] <= 105
