Largest Container
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.
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.
function maxArea(height) {
let left = 0;
let right = height.length - 1;
let maxArea = 0;
while (left < right) {
const currentHeight = Math.min(height[left], height[right]);
const currentWidth = right - left;
const currentArea = currentHeight * currentWidth;
maxArea = Math.max(maxArea, currentArea);
if (height[left] < height[right]) {
left++;
} else {
right--;
}
}
return maxArea;
}
