LeetCode: Nested List Weight Sum

LeetCode: Nested List Weight Sum

Given a nested list of integers, return the sum of all integers in the list weighted by their depth.

Each element is either an integer, or a list – whose elements may also be integers or other lists.

Example 1:

Given the list [[1,1],2,[1,1]], return 10. (four 1’s at depth 2, one 2 at depth 1)

Example 2:

Given the list [1,[4,[6]]], return 27. (one 1 at depth 1, one 4 at depth 2, and one 6 at depth 3; 1 + 42 + 63 = 27)
