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.

Examples

Example 1

Input: height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
Output: 49

Example 2

Input: height = [1,1]
Output: 1

Example 3

Input: height = [4,3,2,1,4]
Output: 16

Running will execute all 3 cases.
