Problem Description

A histogram is a polygon composed of a sequence of rectangles aligned at a common base line. The rectangles have equal widths but may have different heights. For example, the figure on the left shows the histogram that consists of rectangles with the heights 2, 1, 4, 5, 1, 3, 3, measured in units where 1 is the width of the rectangles:

Usually, histograms are used to represent discrete distributions, e.g., the frequencies of characters in texts. Note that the order of the rectangles, i.e., their heights, is important. Calculate the area of the largest rectangle in a histogram that is aligned at the common base line, too. The figure on the right shows the largest aligned rectangle for the depicted histogram.

 

Input

The input contains several test cases. Each test case describes a histogram and starts with an integer n, denoting the number of rectangles it is composed of. You may assume that 1 <= n <= 100000. Then follow n integers h1, ..., hn, where 0 <= hi <= 1000000000. These numbers denote the heights of the rectangles of the histogram in left-to-right order. The width of each rectangle is 1. A zero follows the input for the last test case.

 

Output

For each test case output on a single line the area of the largest rectangle in the specified histogram. Remember that this rectangle must be aligned at the common base line.

 

Sample Input

7 2 1 4 5 1 3 34 1000 1000 1000 10000

 

Sample Output

84000

 

单调队列呢，是一种队列中元素呈单调性的队列（感觉就是个数组模拟了一波）。单调队列只能在尾部插入元素，却可以从两端取数值，且保证是这个队列的最小值和最大值。

插入一个数时，将队列中所有大于等于这个数值的数弹出。因为每个数只会被放入队列一次，弹出队列一次，所以平摊下来整体的复杂度是O(n)的。

初始化问题也很值得注意，他决定了当队列中不存在数时候的边界值。

在此感谢卿爷的耐心教导，尽管我早已经是个退役菜鸡orzzzzzz
