/**
 * 904. Fruit Into Baskets
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/fruit-into-baskets/
 * Difficulty: Medium
 *
 * You are visiting a farm that has a single row of fruit trees arranged from left to right.
 * The trees are represented by an integer array fruits where fruits[i] is the type of fruit
 * the ith tree produces.
 *
 * You want to collect as much fruit as possible. However, the owner has some strict rules
 * that you must follow:
 * - You only have two baskets, and each basket can only hold a single type of fruit. There
 *   is no limit on the amount of fruit each basket can hold.
 * - Starting from any tree of your choice, you must pick exactly one fruit from every tree
 *   (including the start tree) while moving to the right. The picked fruits must fit in one
 *   of your baskets.
 * - Once you reach a tree with fruit that cannot fit in your baskets, you must stop.
 *
 * Given the integer array fruits, return the maximum number of fruits you can pick.
