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.
capacity= (right-left)*min(height(right),height(right))
解决方法是定义两个指针left和right从数组两头开始遍历:如果left的高度低于right,则将left指针右移找到比left高的重新判定capacity;反之,如果right的高度低于left,则将right的指针左移找到比right高的重新判定capacity。最后left==right结束while循环。
C++ AC代码:
class Solution {
public:
int maxArea(vector<int> &height) {
int capacity = 0;
int left = 0,right = height.size()-1;
int k;
while(left<right){
capacity = max(capacity,(right-left)*min(height[left],height[right]));
if(height[left]<height[right]){
k = left;
while(k<right && height[k] <= height[left]){
k++;
}
left = k;
}else{
k = right;
while(k>left && height[k] <= height[right]){
k--;
}
right = k;
}
}
return capacity;
}
};
