情境題：給定一系列長短不一的高，每個高坐落於間格為 1 的 x 軸上，求任意兩個高夾出的最大裝水容積。

題目

Container With Most Water Medium

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.

class Solution {
    public int maxArea(int[] height) {
        int max = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < height.length - 1; i++) { // i means left border
          for (int j = i + 1; j < height.length; j++) { // j means right border
            int y = height[i] <= height[j] ? height[i] : height[j];
            int x = j - i;
            int volume = x * y;
            max = volume > max ? volume : max;
          }
        }
        return max;
    }
}
