Trapping Rain Water

Calculate water trapped between elevation bars Input: array of non-negative integers representing heights Output: total water units trapped

Trapping Rain Water is about turning repeated work into a reusable state instead of re-solving subproblems. It's a hard one for a reason: it stresses state-and-transition thinking when the rules pile up. The trap is picking a state that's too vague; keep it minimal and consistent.
