11. Container With Most Water

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.

解法思路：这道题其实求不规则矩形的最大长方形面积，依然是贪心算法，我们首先计算出首尾相连的矩形的长方形面积，因为这是长最大的矩形的面积，接下来我们想找到这最优解的话，肯定是要向中间移动，而这移动必然使得长度减少，那么只有高度增高，才能使得面积更大；因此我们找出更高的最小高，所以要分为两种情况，当左边的高低于右边的高，我们必然使得，左边的点向右移，找到第一个比他高的边，使得面积更大，左边高于右边时，同理，同理左边移动，找到更高的边；

class Solution {
public:
    int maxArea(vector<int>& height) {
        int containerWater = 0;
        int  pt,i,j;
        int head = 0; int end = height.size()- 1;
        while (end > head){
           pt = min(height[head], height[end]);
           containerWater = max(containerWater,pt*(end- head));
           if(height[head] < height[end]) {
               i = 1;
               while(height[head] > height[head + i]) i++;
               head += i;
           }else{
               j = 1;
               while(height[end]> height[end-j]) j++;
               end -= j;
           }
        }
        return containerWater;
    }
};
