Difficulty: Medium

Given n non-negative integers a1, a2, ..., a, 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 and n is at least 2.

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:

Input: [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
Output: 49```


#### Solution

Language: **Java**

```java
class Solution {
    public int maxArea(int[] height) {
        int i = 0;
        int j = height.length - 1;
        int water = 0;
        while (i < j) {
            water = Math.max((j - i) * Math.min(height[i], height[j]), water);
            if (height[i] < height[j]) {
                i++;
            } else {
                j--;
            }
        }
        return water;
    }
}
