/*
 * HACKERRANK INTERVIEW QUESTION
 * 
 * You are given a list of size N, initialized with zeroes. You have to perform M queries on the list and output the
 * maximum of final values of all the N elements in the list. For every query, you are given three integers a, b and k and
 * you have to add value k to all the elements ranging from index a to b(both inclusive).
 * 
 * Input Format
 * First line will contain two integers N and M separated by a single space.
 * Next M lines will contain three integers a, b and k separated by a single space.
 * Numbers in list are numbered from 1 to N.
 * 
 * Output Format
 * A single line containing maximum value in the final list.

The O(m * log n) solution is here -> https://gist.github.com/jakab922/ec51c6a6c56e5cab7c229d3c926ada2a
On the max settings it takes ~10-11s to execute so a rewrite in C++/Java is required to be accepted.
