simple cpp solutions

int designerPdfViewer(vector h, string word) {

int maxheight=0;

for(char c :word){ int a= c -'a'; maxheight=max(maxheight,h[a]); } int area=maxheight * word.length(); return area; }

Just finished helping my kid set up his new kids airbed for a sleepover! While I was at it, I stumbled upon this PDF highlighter problem—kinda fun figuring out the highlighted area based on letter heights. It’s like measuring how tall his alphabet blocks would stack up, but with numbers. The kids airbed is ready, and now I’ve got coding puzzles to keep me busy too—win-win! 😄

(Your problem's solution is simple: find the tallest letter in the word using the given heights, then multiply that height by the word's length—since each letter is 1 unit wide. Easy peasy!)

public static int designerPdfViewer(List<Integer> h, String word) {
    char start = 'a';
    int end = start+26;
    Map<Character, Integer> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
    for(int i=start, j=0; i<=end && j<h.size(); i++, j++) {
        map.put((char)i, h.get(j));
    }
    int maxHeight = Arrays.stream(word.split("")).mapToInt(s -> {
        Character c = s.charAt(0);
        return map.get(c);
    }).max().orElse(0);
    return maxHeight * word.length();
}

List alphabet = new ArrayList<>();

    for(int i=0;i<26;i++){
        alphabet.add((char)('a'+i));
    }
    int index=0;
    List<Integer> addIndexes = new ArrayList<>();
    for(int i=0; i<word.length();i++){
        char charletter = word.charAt(i);
        index = alphabet.indexOf(charletter);
        addIndexes.add(h.get(index));

        }
        return word.length()*Collections.max(addIndexes);
