Rain Water Harvesting problem

in the 2nd approach in editorial why are we taking min of left[i], right[i] for each ? we had previously stored the max from left for i on left[i-1] and similarly from right on right[i+1].
why are we not taking min(left[i-1],right[i+1]) for i .

Assume we
have
10 20
so left will be 10 20
and right will be 20 20

So for 0th index ans is 0 and for 1st index ans is 0

What I want to explain is that height of current bar is also important in answer.
assume if its maximum then min(left[i-1],right[i+1]) will five wrong answer
say 10 20 9
left is 10 20 20
right is 20 20 9
now ans=0+0+0=0
but acc what u are saying ,we don’t have left[-1] right [3] a;so for middle bar ans should be 9-20 =-11
