Container With Most Water

Medium

You receive an integer array height of length n . There are n vertical lines drawn such that the two endpoints of the i^th line are (i, 0) and (i, height[i]) .

Find two lines that together with the x-axis form a container, such that the container includes the most water.

Produce the maximum amount of water a container can store .

Notice that you may not slant the container.

Example 1

Original illustrative diagram 1 for Container With Most Water

Input: height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]

Output: 49

Explanation: 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 2

Input: height = [1,1]

Output: 1

Constraints

  • n == height.length
  • 2 <= n <= 10^5
  • 0 <= height[i] <= 10^4
