+Write a function `trap` that calculates how much rainwater can be trapped between bars in a histogram after raining.
+
+Given an array of non-negative integers `height` where each element represents the elevation at that point, compute how much water it can trap.
+
+### Signature
+
+```ts
+function trap(height: number[]): number;
+```
+
+### Example
+
+```ts
+trap([0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1]); // 6
+trap([4,2,0,3,2,5]); // 9
+```
+
+### Explanation
+
+Each bar's trapped water is determined by the **minimum of the highest bars** to its left and right, minus its own height.
+
+For example, in `[0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1]`, at index 5 (`height = 0`):
+
+* Left max = 2
+* Right max = 3
+* Water trapped = `min(2, 3) - 0 = 2`.
+
+The total water trapped is the sum across all indices.
+
+### Constraints
+
+* `n == height.length`
+* `0 ≤ n ≤ 10⁵`
+* `0 ≤ height[i] ≤ 10⁴`
+* The algorithm should run in `O(n)` time and `O(1)` extra space.
