* updated braces in some parts

* included braces in line no 58

* included braces in line 58 and 60

* created trap_rainwater.cpp

A program to calculate the maximum amount of water that can be stored between buildings.

* deleted rainwater harvesting

* deleted palindrome

* deleted merge k sorted arrays

* deleted binary search tree to linked list

* deleted binary search tree to linked list

* created min_coins_topdown.cpp

This is another version of coins exchange problem solved using top down approach

* updated the code

please take a look at it

* final changes

* updated my code

* updating DIRECTORY.md

* changed int64_t to int8_t and int16_t

* edited line 3

* changed line 3

* edited line 3 & removed line 18

* added extra space

+/**
+ * @file
+ * @brief [Minimum coins](https://leetcode.com/problems/coin-change/) change problem is a problem used to find the minimum number of 
+ * coins required to completely reach a target amount.
+ *
+ * @details
+ * This problem can be solved using 2 methods:
+ * 1. Top down approach
+ * 2. Bottom up appraoch
+ * Top down approach involves a vector with all elements initialised to 0.
+ * It is based on optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems.
+ * Overall time complexity of coin change problem is O(n*t)
+ * For example: example 1:-
+ * Coins: {1,7,10}
+ * Target:15
+ * Therfore minimum number of coins required = 3 of denomination 1,7 and 7.
