Given n
non-negative integers representing an elevation map where the width of each bar is 1
, compute how much water it can trap after raining.
Input: height = [0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1]
Output: 6
Explanation: The above elevation map (black section) is represented by array [0,1,0,2,1,0,1,3,2,1,2,1]. In this case, 6 units of rain water (blue section) are being trapped.
Input: height = [4,2,0,3,2,5]
Output: 9
n == height.length
0 <= n <= 3 * 104
0 <= height[i] <= 105
class Solution:
def trap(self, height: List[int]) -> int:
ans = 0
left, right = 0, len(height) - 1
left_max, right_max = 0, 0
while left < right:
left_max, right_max = max(left_max, height[left]), max(right_max, height[right])
if left_max < right_max:
ans += max(0, left_max - height[left])
left += 1
else:
ans += max(0, right_max - height[right])
right -= 1
return ans
Use two pointers and record max heights from left and right.
