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.

Yes

Example

Given the list[[1,1],2,[1,1]], return10. (four 1's at depth 2, one 2 at depth 1, 4 * 1 * 2 + 1 * 2 * 1 = 10)
Given the list[1,[4,[6]]], return27. (one 1 at depth 1, one 4 at depth 2, and one 6 at depth 3; 1 + 4_2 + 6_3 = 27)

/**
 * // This is the interface that allows for creating nested lists.
 * // You should not implement it, or speculate about its implementation
 * public interface NestedInteger {
 *
 *     // @return true if this NestedInteger holds a single integer,
 *     // rather than a nested list.
 *     public boolean isInteger();
