You are given an integer array
height
of lengthn
. There aren
vertical lines drawn such that the two endpoints of theith
line are(i, 0)
and(i, height[i])
.Find two lines that together with the x-axis form a container, such that the container contains the most water.
Return the maximum amount of water a container can store.
Notice that you may not slant the container.
class Solution:
def maxArea(self, height):
left, right = 0, len(height) - 1
res = 0
while left < right:
# start from the longest width
temp = min(height[left], height[right]) * (right - left)
res = max(res, temp)
# looking for a taller container
if height[left] < height[right]:
left += 1
else:
right -= 1
return res
