Building Shadows

You are given a list of building heights. For each building, compute how much sunlight it receives based on the buildings to its left. A building receives sunlight if it's taller than any building to its left. Output a list with 1 if it receives sunlight and 0 otherwise. Example Input: 5 3 1 4 1 5 Example Output: 1 0 1 0 1 Input Format: - The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 30000), the number of buildings. - The second line contains n space-separated integers, representing the heights of buildings. Output Format: - A single line of n integers where each integer is either 1 (receives sunlight) or 0 (no sunlight).
