The interview process consisted of 2 rounds - an Online Assessment on HackerRank which consisted of 2 questions and an Interview Round in which they asked 2 DSA questions. In the interview, they also asked me to introduce myself and they straight away went for the questions.

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.
