一、问题描述
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.
二、问题分析
设两个指针,分别从前往后和从后往前搜索。
三、算法代码
public class Solution {
public int maxArea(int[] height) {
int start = 0;
int end = height.length - 1;
int capacity = 0;
int result = 0;
while(start < end){
capacity = Math.min(height[start] , height[end]) * (end - start);
result = Math.max(result, capacity);
if(height[start] <= height[end]){
start++;
}else{
end--;
}
}
return result;
}
}
