Leet Code Java Solution - Container with Most Water


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 the line i is at (i, ai) and (i, 0). Find two lines, which, together with the x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most water.

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

Example 3:

Input: height = [4,3,2,1,4]
Output: 16

Example 4:

Input: height = [1,2,1]
Output: 2

 

Constraints:

  • n == height.length
  • 2 <= n <= 105
  • 0 <= height[i] <= 104
My Code:

class Solution {
    public int maxArea(int[] height) {
        
        int maxWater = 0;
        int left = 0;
        int right=height.length -1;
        while (left<right){
            maxWater = Math.max(maxWater, (right-left)*Math.min(height[left],height[right]));
            if (height[left]<height[right]) left ++;
            else right --;
        }
        return maxWater;
    }
}



Alternate Code:

class Solution {
    public int maxArea(int[] height) {
        
        int [] [] area = new int[height.length][height.length];
        int prod = 0;
        
        for (int i = 0; i<height.length;i++){
            for(int j=i+1;j< height.length;j++){
                int distance = Math.abs(j-i);
                if (height[i]<height[j]){
                    
                    area[i][j-1] = height[i]*distance;
                }
                else{
                    area[i][j-1] = height[j]*distance;
                }
            }
               
                
            }
        
         
        for (int i = 0; i<height.length;i++){
            for (int j =0; j<height.length;j++){
            if (area[i][j]>prod){
                prod = area[i][j];
                
            }
            }
        
    }
        return prod;
    }
}
