Problem
Given n non-negative integers a1, a2, …, a~n ~, 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 and n is at least 2.
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
Input: [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
Output: 49
Solution
impl Solution {
pub fn max_area(height: Vec<i32>) -> i32 {
let mut result: i32 = 0;
let mut start: usize = 0;
let mut end: usize = height.len()-1;
while start < end {
let start_height = height.get(start).unwrap();
let end_height = height.get(end).unwrap();
let h = start_height.min(end_height);
result = result.max(((end-start) as i32 )*h);
if start_height < end_height {
start += 1;
} else {
end -= 1;
}
}
return result;
}
