What is Container With Most Water?
Given an array of bar heights, find two bars that together with the x-axis form a container holding the most water. You start with the widest possible container and move the pointer on the shorter side inward, since that is the only move that could increase the area. This problem teaches the key insight that moving the longer side never helps, which is a non-obvious greedy choice that the two pointer pattern makes visible.
