 * Difficulty: Hard
 *
 * There are n different online courses numbered from 1 to n. You are given an array courses

 * continuously for durationi days and must be finished before or on lastDayi.
 *
 * You will start on the 1st day and you cannot take two or more courses simultaneously.
 *
 * Return the maximum number of courses that you can take.
