Subject: [Jprogramming] largest rectangle problem



Something I stumbled over today.


If we have a series of bars of varying height, what's the largest

rectangle that can be drawn over the bars without covering any empty

space.


For example:


   '*'#"0~2 6 7 4 1 7

**

******

*******

****

*

*******


I'll post a solution later, and I'll be interested in seeing if it's

basically the only obvious approach or if there's a variety of good

approaches. (I have reason to believe, though, that there's a better

way than what I came up with.)


Thanks,
