Maximum Minimum Window

/**
 * Given an integer array. The task is to find the maximum of the minimum of
 * every window size in the array. Note: Window size varies from 1 to the size
 * of the Array.
 * <p>
 * For example,
 * <p>
 * N = 7
 * arr[] = {10,20,30,50,10,70,30}
 * <p>
 * So the answer for the above would be : 70 30 20 10 10 10 10
 * <p>
 * We need to consider window sizes from 1 to length of array in each iteration.
 * So in the iteration 1 the windows would be [10], [20], [30], [50], [10],
 * [70], [30]. Now we need to check the minimum value in each window. Since the
 * window size is 1 here the minimum element would be the number itself. Now the
 * maximum out of these is the result in iteration 1. In the second iteration we
 * need to consider window size 2, so there would be [10,20], [20,30], [30,50],
 * [50,10], [10,70], [70,30]. Now the minimum of each window size would be
 * [10,20,30,10,10] and the maximum out of these is 30. Similarly we solve for
 * other window sizes.
