<p>A city&#39;s <strong>skyline</strong> is the outer contour of the silhouette formed by all the buildings in that city when viewed from a distance. Given the locations and heights of all the buildings, return <em>the <strong>skyline</strong> formed by these buildings collectively</em>.</p>

<p>The geometric information of each building is given in the array <code>buildings</code> where <code>buildings[i] = [left<sub>i</sub>, right<sub>i</sub>, height<sub>i</sub>]</code>:</p>

<ul>
	<li><code>left<sub>i</sub></code> is the x coordinate of the left edge of the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> building.</li>
	<li><code>right<sub>i</sub></code> is the x coordinate of the right edge of the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> building.</li>
	<li><code>height<sub>i</sub></code> is the height of the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> building.</li>
</ul>

<p>You may assume all buildings are perfect rectangles grounded on an absolutely flat surface at height <code>0</code>.</p>

<p>The <strong>skyline</strong> should be represented as a list of &quot;key points&quot; <strong>sorted by their x-coordinate</strong> in the form <code>[[x<sub>1</sub>,y<sub>1</sub>],[x<sub>2</sub>,y<sub>2</sub>],...]</code>. Each key point is the left endpoint of some horizontal segment in the skyline except the last point in the list, which always has a y-coordinate <code>0</code> and is used to mark the skyline&#39;s termination where the rightmost building ends. Any ground between the leftmost and rightmost buildings should be part of the skyline&#39;s contour.</p>

<p><b>Note:</b> There must be no consecutive horizontal lines of equal height in the output skyline. For instance, <code>[...,[2 3],[4 5],[7 5],[11 5],[12 7],...]</code> is not acceptable; the three lines of height 5 should be merged into one in the final output as such: <code>[...,[2 3],[4 5],[12 7],...]</code></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> buildings = [[2,9,10],[3,7,15],[5,12,12],[15,20,10],[19,24,8]]
<strong>Output:</strong> [[2,10],[3,15],[7,12],[12,0],[15,10],[20,8],[24,0]]
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
Figure A shows the buildings of the input.
Figure B shows the skyline formed by those buildings. The red points in figure B represent the key points in the output list.
