You are given an array A of length N. You have to destroy it, given
that you have the power to remove any continuous chunk of same numbers
with 1 click. Thus the order in which you remove chunk matters. For
example given {1, 2, 3, 1} normally it will take you 4 clicks to
remove but if you first

In that case,
1) Sort the array - O(nlogn)
2) loop through the array. if contiguous elements are same remove all of
them in one click else remove only that element. - O(n)
Time - O(nlogn)
space - O(1)
