You are given an integer array height of length n. There are n vertical lines drawn such that the two endpoints of the ith 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.
Example 1:
Input: height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
Output: 49
Explanation: The above vertical lines are represented by array [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]. In this case, the max area of water (blue section) the container can contain is 49.
Example 2:
Input: height = [1,1]
Output: 1
class Solution:
def maxArea(self, height: List[int]) -> int:
res = 0
l = 0
r = len(height)-1
while l < r:
area = (r-l)*min(height[l],height[r])
res = max(res,area)
if height[l]<=height[r]: #if heights are equal any of the height can be shifted
l += 1
elif height[l]>height[r]:
r -= 1
return res
