leetcode 11. Container With Most Water

题目

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 and n is at least 2.

解析

class Solution {
    public int maxArea(int[] height) {
        int left = 0, right = height.length - 1;
        int maxArea = 0;
        while (left < right) {
            int tmpArea = Math.min(height[left], height[right]) * (right - left);
            maxArea = Math.max(maxArea, tmpArea);
            //左边限制的容量
            if (height[left] < height[right]) {
                left++;
            } else {
                right--;
            }
        }
        return maxArea;
    }
