<p>You are given an integer array <code>heights</code> representing the heights of buildings, some <code>bricks</code>, and some <code>ladders</code>.</p>

<p>You start your journey from building <code>0</code> and move to the next building by possibly using bricks or ladders.</p>

<p>While moving from building <code>i</code> to building <code>i+1</code> (<strong>0-indexed</strong>),</p>

<ul>
	<li>If the current building&#39;s height is <strong>greater than or equal</strong> to the next building&#39;s height, you do <strong>not</strong> need a ladder or bricks.</li>
	<li>If the current building&#39;s height is <b>less than</b> the next building&#39;s height, you can either use <strong>one ladder</strong> or <code>(h[i+1] - h[i])</code> <strong>bricks</strong>.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>Return the furthest building index (0-indexed) you can reach if you use the given ladders and bricks optimally.</em></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> heights = [4,2,7,6,9,14,12], bricks = 5, ladders = 1
<strong>Output:</strong> 4
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Starting at building 0, you can follow these steps:
- Go to building 1 without using ladders nor bricks since 4 &gt;= 2.
- Go to building 2 using 5 bricks. You must use either bricks or ladders because 2 &lt; 7.
- Go to building 3 without using ladders nor bricks since 7 &gt;= 6.
- Go to building 4 using your only ladder. You must use either bricks or ladders because 6 &lt; 9.
It is impossible to go beyond building 4 because you do not have any more bricks or ladders.
