Problem - 4794

You are given an integer array height of length $n$. There are $n$ vertical lines drawn such that the two endpoints of the $i$th 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.

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 $49$.
