Using Disjoint Data Structures
Downtown Gotham is booming and the main road is now lined with a continuous row of skyscrapers. For aesthetic reasons, the Gotham Development Council had banned advertising hoardings along the main road.
The High Court has squashed the Council's ban as unconstitutional and ruled that rectangular hoardings may be put up parallel to the main road, along the walls of the skyscrapers lining the road. The only restriction is that a hoarding may not extend above the height of any building along its length. Advertising agencies across the city are buzzing with excitement at the news and accounts executives are busy calculating how large they can make their hoardings, in terms of total area, to collect maximum revenue from advertisers.
Suppose the skyline is represented as follows, where each skyscaper is represented by its height and width, both quantities measured in metres. The first line of input is an integer N, the number of skyscrapers. This is followed by N lines of input describing the skyscrapers in left to right order. Each of these lines consists of two integers W and H, specifying the width and height of the skyscraper, respectively. The task is to compute the maximum area that a hoarding can have for a given arrangement of skyscrapers.

It is my first program in C++, in Union-Find and using vectors(yeah too ambitious for the first problem). I wanted to know if the flow of the program is atleast partially correct. Besides, I am getting the error: “glibc detected” along with a wrong answer. So, should I start afresh or am I almost there?
