[LeetCode] Beautiful Towers II

2866. Beautiful Towers II

You are given a 0-indexed array maxHeights of n integers.

You are tasked with building n towers in the coordinate line. The ith tower is built at coordinate i and has a height of heights[i].

A configuration of towers is beautiful if the following conditions hold:

  1. 1 <= heights[i] <= maxHeights[i]
  2. heights is a mountain array.

Array heights is a mountain if there exists an index i such that:

  • For all 0 < j <= i, heights[j - 1] <= heights[j]
  • For all i <= k < n - 1, heights[k + 1] <= heights[k]

Return the maximum possible sum of heights of a beautiful configuration of towers.
