Problem
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.
Example
Given [1,3,2], the max area of the container is 2.
Note
X轴上两指针的距离right - left
为矩形长;
Math.min(heights[left], heights[right])
作为宽,相乘所得max为最大装水容量。将两指针向中间移动,更新max的最大值。 参考:
Solution
public class Solution { public int maxArea(int[] heights) { // write your code here int left = 0, right = heights.length - 1, max = 0; while (left < right) { max = Math.max(max, Math.min(heights[left], heights[right]) * (right - left)); if (heights[left] < heights[right]) left++; else right--; } return max; }}
