The Descent

The goal here is to prevent our ship from crashing into mountains. In order to suceed, our ship must shoot the tallest mountain on each turn. Therefore, we use the variable max_mountain_height to track the maximum height and also index_mountain_to_fire for the index to shoot. On every turn, all mountain heights are read from the standard input. We update our variables when a new maximum is found. Finally, to write an action, we call the print function with index_mountain_to_fire as a parameter.
