883. Projection Area of 3D Shapes

You are given an n x n grid where we place some 1 x 1 x 1 cubes that are axis-aligned with the x, y, and z axes. Each value v = grid[i][j] represents a tower of v cubes placed on top of the cell (i, j). We view the projection of these cubes onto the xy, yz, and zx planes. A projection is like a shadow, that maps our 3-dimensional figure to a 2-dimensional plane. We are viewing the "shadow" when
