Broadcast Energy Reach

A series of radio stations are placed in a line, each with a specific power level. A station's signal 'reaches' all subsequent stations to its right until it encounters a station with a strictly greater power level. The 'Total Energy Reach' of a station is the sum of the power levels of all the stations its signal passes over (excluding itself and the station that blocks it). Calculate the Total Energy Reach for each station. Input Format: A single line of space-separated integers representing power levels. Output Format: A single line of space-separated integers representing the energy reach. Example: Input: 10 3 4 12 Output: 7 0 0 0
