Company A面试 笔试 : 爬山 算步骤 问题

/*
 somebody go from A (0,0) to B (0,D) via many mountains which use tri-tuple <startx,endx,height>.
 * this guy must be walk up  when arriving at mountains and climb down when leave this mountain.

 * Here 这里山的坐标会交叉或者重叠。

   questions: how many steps after he cross these mountains from starting point (0,0).  

 * 
 *|
 * input:
         3  //total  mountain's number
   mountain1:  <startx1,endx1,height1>
 mountain2:   <startx2,endx2,height2>

 mountain3:  <startx3,endx3,height3>

 * output:
 *     steps
 * 
 * Solution:
 *  1） 垂直方向的steps 就是 把各个合体山（几个起点或终点坐标有交差重叠的山）的最高高度乘以2倍，再把这些数值加起来。
 *      如果合体山的起始点与前面的合体山的终点是一样的，则要注意特殊处理，see 
 *  2） 水平方向的steps 就是最远点的坐标点
