You are given 'N' rectangular buildings in a 2-dimensional city. Your task is to compute the skyline of these buildings, eliminating hidden lines return the skyline formed by these buildings collectively. A city's skyline is the outer contour of the silhouette formed by all the buildings in that city when viewed from a distance. The geometric information of each building is given in the array of buildings where BUILDINGS[i] = [LEFT_i, RIGHT_i, HEIGHT_i]:

-> LEFT_i is the x coordinate of the left edge of the ith building.

-> RIGHT_i is the x coordinate of the right edge of the ith building.

-> HEIGHT_i is the height of the ith building.

You may assume all buildings are perfect rectangles grounded on an absolutely flat surface at height 0.

The skyline should be represented as a list of "key points" sorted by their x-coordinate in the form [[x1, y1], [x2, y2], ...]. Each key point is the left endpoint of some horizontal segment in the skyline except the last point in the list, which always has a y-coordinate 0 and is used to mark the skyline's termination where the rightmost building ends. Any ground between the leftmost and rightmost buildings should be part of the skyline's contour.

Note:
There must be no consecutive horizontal lines of equal height in the output skyline. For instance, [...,[2 3], [4 5], [7 5], [11 5], [12 7],...] is not acceptable; the three lines of height 5 should be merged into one in the final output.

As such: [..., [2 3], [4 5], [12 7],...]. 

Also, the buildings are sorted by a non-decreasing order.

It was Tough first I was told to give an intro. Then we discussed my internship a little bit then moved toward my project where they ask me my project in depth probably for 15 min. Then they give me a DS question which was the Sliding Window Problem question.

Given an array/list of integers of length ‘N’, there is a sliding window of size ‘K’ which moves from the beginning of the array, to the very end. You can only see the ‘K’ numbers in a particular window at a time. For each of the 'N'-'K'+1 different windows thus formed, you are supposed to return the maximum element in each of them, from the given array/list.
