You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums.
Return the maximum value over all triplets of indices (i, j, k) such that i < j < k. If all such triplets have a negative value, return 0.
The value of a triplet of indices (i, j, k) is equal to (nums[i] - nums[j]) * nums[k].
Examples
Example 1
Input: nums = [12,6,1,2,7]
Output: 77
Explanation: The value of the triplet (0, 2, 4) is (nums[0] - nums[2]) * nums[4] = 77.
It can be shown that there are no ordered triplets of indices with a value greater than 77.
Example 2
Input: nums = [1,10,3,4,19]
Output: 133
Explanation: The value of the triplet (1, 2, 4) is (nums[1] - nums[2]) * nums[4] = 133.
It can be shown that there are no ordered triplets of indices with a value greater than 133.
Example 3
Input: nums = [1,2,3]
Output: 0
Explanation: The only ordered triplet of indices (0, 1, 2) has a negative value of (nums[0] - nums[1]) * nums[2] = -3. Hence, the answer would be 0.
Constraints
3 <= nums.length <= 100
1 <= nums[i] <= 106
