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.

解题思路

面积只看边界的两条线，和中间的线没关系。两个指针i,j分别指向头和尾，如果头小，i++，否则j++。

代码

public class Solution {
  public int maxArea(int[] height)
	{
		int i=0;
		int j=height.length-1;
		int max=0;

		while(j>i)
		{
			int tmp=height[i]<=height[j]?height[i]:height[j];
			if(tmp*(j-i)>max)
				max=tmp*(j-i);

			if(height[i]<=height[j])
				++i;
			else
				--j;
		}

		return max;
	}
}
