85. Maximal Rectangle
Difficulty: Hard
Topics: Array, Dynamic Programming, Stack, Matrix, Monotonic Stack
Given a rows x cols binary matrix filled with 0's and 1's, find the largest rectangle containing only 1's and return its area.
Example 1:


Input: matrix = [["1","0","1","0","0"],["1","0","1","1","1"],["1","1","1","1","1"],["1","0","0","1","0"]]

Output: 6

Explanation: The maximal rectangle is shown in the above picture.

Example 2:

Input: matrix = [["0"]]

Output: 0

Example 3:

Input: matrix = [["1"]]

Output: 1

Constraints:

rows == matrix.length
cols == matrix[i].length
1 <= row, co...
