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.
首先,将两条线设为第一条和最后一条,此时的宽度是最大的。若以后的容器大于这个,只能是高度更高,所以可以更新短的那根线,若第一根线短,则向前推进,只有遇到更高的线时才需要重新计算;若短的是第二根线,则向后推进,遇到更高的线时更新
