Given n non-negative integers a1, a2, ..., an, where each represents a point at coordinate (i, ai). n vertical lines are drawn such that the two endpoints of line i is at (i, ai) and (i, 0). Find two lines, which together with x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most water.
Note: You may not slant the container and n is at least 2.
Solution:
Tips:
from two ends to middle, and record the max area for each comparing.
Java Code:
public class Solution {
public int maxArea(int[] height) {
int left = 0;
int right = height.length - 1;
int maxArea = 0;
while (left < right) {
int length = right - left;
int higher = height[left] < height[right] ? height[left++] : height[right--];
maxArea = Math.max(maxArea, length * higher);
}
return maxArea;
}
}
