Container With Most Water

📜 Problem Statement: 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.

Notice that you may not slant the container.

Examples

🔹 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

📝 Constraints:

  • n == height.length

  • 2 <= n <= 10^5

  • 0 <= height[i] <= 10^4
