# 11. Container With Most Water

## Problem Statement

<br>

You are given an integer array `height` of length `n`. There are `n` vertical lines drawn such that the two endpoints of the `ith` line are `(i, 0)` and `(i, height[i])`.

Find two lines that together with the x-axis form a container, such that the container contains the most water.

Return *the maximum amount of water a container can store*.

**Notice** that you may not slant the container.

&#x20;

**Example 1:**

<pre><code><strong>Input: height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
</strong><strong>Output: 49
</strong><strong>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.
</strong></code></pre>

**Example 2:**

<pre><code><strong>Input: height = [1,1]
</strong><strong>Output: 1
</strong></code></pre>

&#x20;

**Constraints:**

* `n == height.length`
* `2 <= n <= 105`
* `0 <= height[i] <= 104`

## Intuition

```
Approach:

Start from the edges
And now from there, greedily search for large walls 

Towards inward

        int ans=0;

        while(low<high){
            int area = min(arr[low], arr[high]) * (high-low);
            ans = max(ans, area);

            if(arr[low] > arr[high])
                high--;
            else
                low++;
        }
