LeetCode 11. Container With Most Water (javascript)

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:

Solution:

/**
 * @param {number[]} height
 * @return {number}
 */
var maxArea = function(height) {
    let len = height.length;
    let l = 0
    let r = len - 1;
    let maxA = 0;
    while (l < r) {
        let minH = Math.min(height[l], height[r]);
        maxA = Math.max(maxA, minH * (r - l));
        if (height[l] < height[r]) {
            l++;
        } else {
            r--;
        }
    }
    return maxA;
};
