题目: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.
每个容器的面积取决于最短的木板,解题代码如下:
// 时间复杂度 O(n),空间复杂度 O(1) class Solution { public: int maxArea(vector<int>& height) { int start = 0; int end = height.size() - 1; int result = INT_MIN; while (start < end) { int area = min(height[end], height[start]) * (end - start); result = max(result, area); if (height[start] <= height[end]) ++start; else --end; } return result; } };上面代码的思想及编写参考了网址https://github.com/soulmachine/leetcode#leetcode题解题目
