Subject: Happy that I got this one done. Well, I couldn't quite finish the
 first challenge, but I did try my hand at it. The second one was a pleasure
 to accomplish.

+#TASK #2 › Largest Rectangle Histogram
+#Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar
+#
+#You are given an array of positive numbers @A.
+#
+#Write a script to find the largest rectangle histogram created by the given array.
+
+
+#my solution takes advantage of the fact that a chart like what we're working with never has vertical gaps. So, we just need to find contiguous horizontal lines and square them with the distance from the chart's base.
+
+#I promise to try to do proper testing for the next one!
