/* Author: King, wangjingui@outlook.com Date: Dec 20, 2014 Problem: Container With Most Water Difficulty: Easy Source: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/container-with-most-water/ Notes: 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. Solution: From both sides to the center. */ public class Solution { public int maxArea(int[] height) { int left = 0, right = height.length - 1; int res = 0; while (left < right) { res = Math.max(res, Math.min(height[left],height[right]) * (right - left)); if (height[left] > height[right]) --right; else ++left; } return res; } }
