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.
public class Solution {
public int maxArea(int[] height) {
int maxArea = 0;
if (height == null || height.length <= 1) {
return maxArea;
}
if (height.length == 2) {
return Math.min(height[1], height[0]);
}
int left = 0;
int right = height.length - 1;
int maxHeight = 0;
boolean direction = false;
while (left < right){
int usefulHeight = Math.min(height[left], height[right]);
int thisArea = usefulHeight * (right - left);
maxArea = Math.max(thisArea, maxArea);
if (height[left] > height[right]) {
right--;
} else {
left++;
}
}
return maxArea;
}
}
改进了一下,但是速度好像没什么提高
