There are n children standing in a line. Each child is assigned a rating value given in the integer array ratings.

\n\n

You are giving candies to these children subjected to the following requirements:

\n\n\n\n

Return the minimum number of candies you need to have to distribute the candies to the children.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: ratings = [1,0,2]\nOutput: 5\nExplanation: You can allocate to the first, second and third child with 2, 1, 2 candies respectively.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: ratings = [1,2,2]\nOutput: 4\nExplanation: You can allocate to the first, second and third child with 1, 2, 1 candies respectively.\nThe third child gets 1 candy because it satisfies the above two conditions.\n
