SPOJ – HISTOGRA – Largest Rectangle in a Histogram

Note:
This is the same problem as in Light OJ – 1083- Histogram. Here is the link of my Segment tree.

But here the most important point to be noted that in SPOJ, the Time Limit is 0.409 sec where in Light OJ , the same problem has Time limit of 2 sec…. So there in Light OJ, the problem can be solved by Segment tree ( the way in which I had done that) with O(nlogn) time complexity. But here in SPOJ, the Segment tree solution will get TLE since the O(nlogn) complexity will cross the Time limit of 0.409 sec. So here, I have approached in stack solution which is of O(n)  time complexity.
