Solution: Maximum Width Ramp
Understand how to solve the maximum width ramp problem by leveraging a stack data structure. This lesson guides you through building a monotonically decreasing stack to find the widest valid ramp efficiently, using a two-pass linear algorithm that balances time and space complexity.

Statement
A ramp in an integer array nums is defined as a pair of indices (i, j) such that i < j and nums[i] <= nums[j]. The width of such a ramp is j - i.
Given an integer array nums, find and return the maximum width of any ramp in nums. If no valid ramp exists, return
