Container With Most Water

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.

Note: You may not slant the container.
