题目:
Given n non-negative integers a1, a2, ..., an , where each represents a point at coordinate (i, ai). nvertical 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.
The above vertical lines are represented by array [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]. In this case, the max area of water (blue section) the container can contain is 49.
Example:
Input: [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
Output: 49
public class ContainerWithMostWater {
public static int maxArea(int[] height) {
if (height == null || height.length < 2)
return 0;
int area = 0;
int l = 0;
int r = height.length - 1;
while(l < r){
int tempArea = Math.min(height[l], height[r])*(r-l);
if(height[r]>height[l]){
l++;
} else {
r--;
}
area = area>tempArea?area:tempArea;
}
return area;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] height = {1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7};
System.out.println(maxArea(height));
}
}
