Solution: Maximum Width Ramp
Explore the method to determine the maximum width ramp in an integer array by using a monotonic stack. Understand how to select candidate left endpoints and scan from the right to find valid ramps efficiently. This lesson helps you apply stack techniques to solve array problems with a linear time approach and manage space complexity effectively.

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
