LeetCode: Container With Most Water

Title :

https://leetcode.com/problems/container-with-most-water/

 Given n non-negative integers a1a2, ..., an, where each represents a point at coordinate (iai). n vertical lines are drawn such that the two endpoints of line i is at (iai) and (i, 0). Find two lines, which together with x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most water.

 

思路:开始题目读错了,需要考虑X轴的长度。

采用贪心的策略,从左右两边向中间靠近,每次从最短的那个“篱笆”那边向中间靠拢

class Solution{
public:
    int maxArea(vector<int> & height){
        int maxA = 0;
        int i = 0;
        int j = height.size() - 1;
        while (i < j){
            int a = (j - i) * min(height[i],height[j]);
            maxA = (a > maxA)? a : maxA;

            if (height[i] < height[j]){
                i++;
            }else{
                j--;
            }
                        //maxA = (j - i) * abs(height[i] - height[j]);
        }
        return maxA;
    }
};
