public:
int candy(vector<int>& ratings) {
vector<int> candy(ratings.size(), 1);
for(int i = 1; i < ratings.size(); i )
if(ratings[i] > ratings[i-1])
candy[i] = candy[i-1] 1;
for(int i = ratings.size()-1; i >= 1; i--)
if(ratings[i-1] > ratings[i])
candy[i-1] = max(candy[i-1], candy[i] 1);
int res = 0;
for(auto it : candy)
res = it;
return res;
