Container With Most Water
Greedy

Score: 50
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 are at (i, ai) and (i, 0).
Find two lines, which, together with the x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most water.
Return the maximum amount of water a container can store.
Note: that you may not slant the container.
Input Format
First Parameter - number n
Second Parameter - array arr
of size n
Output Format
Return the number.
Example 1:
Input:
9
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:
2
1 1
Output:
1
Constraints:
- 2 <= n <= 105
- 0 <= arr[i] <= 104
- Expected Space Complexity: O(n)
- Expected Time Complexity: O(1)
