Container With Most Water ——解题笔记


   【题目】

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 line i is at (i, ai) 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.


    分析:

    如果我们遍历两次vector,一定可以得到结果,但是时间复杂度是O(n^2)。

    换种思路,两个token,一个放在vector前面,一个放在后面。判断此时的面积是否大于max,然后需要移动两个token,如何移动呢?

    如果height[前]小于height[后],那么我们把前面的token后移一位;

    如果height[前]大于等于height[后],那么我们把后面的token前移一位;

    这样移动的原则是一定要尽量保留较长的边,以保证形成的容积尽可能的大。


    代码:

class Solution {
public:
    int maxArea(vector<int>& height) {
        int area = 0; 
        int len = height.size();
        int head = 0; 
        int tail = len - 1; 
        while(head < tail)
        {
            int tmp = (tail - head) * min(height[head], height[tail]);
            area = max(area, tmp);
            
            if(height[head] < height[tail])
                head++;
            else
                tail--;
        }
        return area;
    }
};
