Container With Most Water

You are given an integer array height of length n. There are n vertical lines drawn such that the two endpoints of the i-th 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.

Example 1

Input: height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
Output: 49
Explanation: The vertical lines are represented by array [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]. In this case, the max area is formed between index 1 (height 8) and index 8 (height 7): min(8,7) * (8 - 1) = 7 * 7 = 49.

Constraints

  • n == height.length
  • 2 <= n <= 10^5
  • 0 <= height[i] <= 10^4
