### Example 1:
- Input: `heights = [2,1,5,6,2,3]`
- Output: `10`
- Explanation: The above is a histogram where width of each bar is `1`. The largest rectangle is shown in the red area, which has an area = `10` units.
### Example 2:
- Input: `heights = [2,4]`
- Output: `4`
### Constraints:
- `1 <= heights.length <= 10^5`
- `0 <= heights[i] <= 10^4`
## Solution
```py
class Solution:
def largestRectangleArea(self, heights: list[int]) -> int:
maxArea = 0
stack = []
for i, h in enumerate(heights):
start = i
while stack and stack[-1][1] > h:
index, height = stack.pop()
width = i - index
maxArea = max(maxArea, height * width)
start = index
stack.append((start, h))
for i, h in stack:
maxArea = max(maxArea, h * (len(heights) - i))
return maxArea
```
