#11 Container With Most Water

APPROACH

Array height of length n describes n vertical lines where the ith line runs from (i, 0) to (i, height[i]). Choose two lines that together with the x-axis enclose the greatest volume of water and return that maximum. The container may not be tilted.

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
