# 0011-container-with-most-water Try it on leetcode ## Description

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.

 

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:

## Solution(Python) ```Python class Solution: def maxArea(self, height: List[int]) -> int: # height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7] # 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 # # width and height # water = level * width # level = min(left, right) # width = right - left + 1 # maxArea # width -> 0 .. n # process smallest line left < right # update maxArea # dryrun # i =0 # j = 8 # -> 0 < 8 # 1 < 7; level = 1; area = 1* 9 # i = 1 # maxArea = 9 # -> 1 < 8 # 8 > 7; level = 7; area = 7* 7 = 49 # j = 6 # maxArea = 49 # # -> 1 < 6 # 8 < 8; level = 8; area= 8* 6 # maxArea = 0 i = 0 j = len(height) - 1 while i < j: if height[i] < height[j]: level = height[i] area = level * (j-i) i += 1 else: level = height[j] area = level * (j-i) j-=1 if area > maxArea: maxArea = area return maxArea ```
