Problem: In a flower bed, there are N flowers, numbered 1,2,......,N. Initially, the heights of all flowers are 0. You are given a sequence h=\\{h_1,h_2,h_3,......\\} as input. You would like to change the height of Flower k to h_k for all k (1 \leq k \leq N), by repeating the following "watering" operation:    * Specify integers l and r. Increase the height of Flower x by 1 for all x such that l \leq x \leq r.  Find the minimum number of watering operations required to satisfy the condition.
