# Find the area of the largest rectangle formed by buliding blocks of some width and height.
# The blocks are placed next to each other such that there is no gap between any two consecutive blocks. 
# Input  : n - Number of blocks
# 		 : w,h - width of block, height of block
# Outupt : o - area of largest rectangle formed by these blocks.
