题目描述

There are N children standing in a line. Each child is assigned a rating value given in the integer array ratings.
You are giving candies to these children subjected to the following requirements:
Each child must have atleast one candy.
Children with a higher rating get more candies than neighbors.
Return the minimum number of candies you need to have to distribute the candies to the children.

Example 1:
Input:
N = 3
ratings [ ] = {1, 0, 2}
Output: 5
Explanation:
You can allocate to the first, second and third child with 2, 1, 2 candies respectively.

Example 2:
Input:
N = 3
ratings [ ] = {1, 2, 2}
Output: 4
Explanation:
You can allocate to the first, second and third child with 1, 2, 1 candies respectively.
The third child gets 1 candy because it statisfies the above two conditions.
Your Task:
You don't need to read input or print anything. Your task is to complete the function minCandy() which takes the interger N and integer array ratings[ ] as parameters and returns the minimum number of candies you need to have to distribute the candies to the children.
Expected Time Complexity: O(N)
Expected Auxiliary Space: O(N)
Constraints:
1 ≤ N ≤ 5*10^{4}
0 ≤ ratings_{i} ≤ 10^{5}
