42. Trapping Rain Water

Hard

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.

Example 1:

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.

Example 2:

Input: height = [4,2,0,3,2,5]

Output: 9

Constraints:

Solution

/**
 * @param {number[]} height
 * @return {number}
 */
var trap = function(height) {
    let l = 0
    let r = height.length - 1
    let res = 0
    let lowerWall = 0

    while (l < r) {
        let lVal = height[l]
        let rVal = height[r]

        if (lVal < rVal) {
            lowerWall = Math.max(lVal, lowerWall)
            res += lowerWall - lVal
            l++
        } else {
            lowerWall = Math.max(rVal, lowerWall)
            res += lowerWall - rVal
            r--
        }
    }

    return res
};

export { trap }
