You are given a matrix ‘ARR’ with ‘N’ rows and ‘M’ columns. Your task is to find the maximum sum rectangle in the matrix.

Maximum sum rectangle is a rectangle with the maximum value for the sum of integers present within its boundary, considering all the rectangles that can be formed from the elements of that matrix.

For Example
Consider following matrix:

The rectangle (1,1) to (3,3) is the rectangle with the maximum sum, i.e. 29.

Given an integer ‘N’, the task is to find its corresponding Roman numeral.

Roman numerals are represented by seven different symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D and M.

Symbol      Value
  I           1
  V           5
  X           10
  L           50
  C           100
  D           500
  M           1000

Example :

2 is written as II in the roman numeral, just two one’s added together. 
12 is written as XII, which is simply X(ten) + II(one+one). 
The number 27 is written as XXVII, which is XX + V + II.

Roman numerals are usually written largest to smallest from left to right. 
However, the numeral for four is not IIII. Instead, the number four is written as IV. Because the one is before the five we subtract it making four.
The same principle applies to the number nine, which is written as IX.

There are six instances where subtraction is used:

I can be placed before V (5) and X (10) to make 4 and 9.
X can be placed before L (50) and C (100) to make 40 and 90.
C can be placed before D (500) and M (1000) to make 400 and 900.
Problem approach

In this you can multiple while loops for each of Roman char and add that char in final result and simultaneously deleting the value from integer.

You have been given two arrays having an equal number of elements. You have to find whether one array is the valid stack permutation of the other. An array is said to be a valid stack permutation of the other if and only if after applying some push and pop operations onto the sequence of elements in that array, will result in the other array.

Example:

Consider array : 2 4 6.
Valid stack permutations are as follows:
2 4 6
    push ‘2’
    pop ‘2’
    push ‘4’
    pop ‘4’
    push ‘6’
    pop ‘6’
2 6 4
    push ‘2’
    pop ‘2’
    push ‘4’
    pop ‘6’
    push ‘6’
    pop ‘4’
4 2 6
    push ‘2’ 
    pop ‘4’ 
    push ‘4’ 
    pop ‘2’ 
    push ‘6’ 
    pop ‘6’ 
4 6 2
    push ‘2’ 
    pop ‘4’ 
    push ‘4’ 
    pop ‘6’ 
    push ‘6’ 
    pop ‘6’ 
6 4 2
    push ‘2’ 
    pop ‘4’ 
    push ‘6’ 
    pop ‘6’ 
    push ‘4’ 
    pop ‘6’ 

Now, If the other array is [2,4,6], [2,6,4], [4,2,6], [4,6,2], or [6,4,2] then the answer is “YES” otherwise “NO”.
Note:
Please note that the arrays will only contain unique elements.
