Container With Most Water

Given n non-negative integers a1a2, ..., an, where each represents a point at coordinate (iai). n vertical lines are drawn such that the two endpoints of line i is at (iai) 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.

思路:这道题就是求最大矩形面积。当长度减少时,高度必须增加才能增大面积。使用两个指针——首指针和尾指针,取min(ai,aj)*(j-i).如果头指针指向的结点小于尾指针指向的结点,这头指针向前移动,否则尾指针向前移动,再继续求解矩形面积。感觉就像贪心算法,如果距离减小,必须通过增加高度来弥补。

class Solution {

public:

    int maxArea(vector<int> &height) {

        int nSize=height.size();

        if(nSize==0)

            return 0;

        int Area=0;

        int mostWater=0;

        vector<int>::iterator iter1=height.begin();

        vector<int>::iterator iter2=height.end()-1;

        while(iter1<iter2)

        {

            Area=min(*iter1,*iter2)*(iter2-iter1);

            if(mostWater<Area)

                mostWater=Area;

            if(*iter1<*iter2)

                iter1++;

            else

                iter2--;

        }

        return mostWater;

    }

};
