Examples
Example 1
Input
- nums =
[2, 1, 2]
Output
- answer =
1
Explanation
We can hold 1 unit of water in middle.
Example 2
Input
- nums =
[3, 0, 1, 3, 0, 5]
Output
- answer =
8
Explanation
We can hold 3 units in the first index, 2 in the second, and 3 in the fourth index (we cannot hold 5 since it would run off to the left), so we can catch 8 units of water.
Example 3
Input
- nums =
[2, 5, 2, 0, 5, 8, 8]
Output
- answer =
8
Explanation
nums[2]
can catch 3 rain drops, and nums[3]
can catch 5
for a total of 8
