Container With Most Water
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.
Example
Given [1,3,2], the max area of the container is 2.
Notes:
- Two pointers
- Calculate the area formed by the two pointers
- Get max when moving
public int maxArea(int[] heights) {
if (heights == null || heights.length == 0) {
return 0;
}
int i = 0;
int j = heights.length-1;
int max = 0;
while(i < j) {
max = Math.max(max, Math.min(heights[i], heights[j]) * (j-i));
if (heights[i] < heights[j]) {
i++;
} else {
j--;
}
}
return max;
