To solve LeetCode 42: Trapping Rain Water, we need to calculate the total amount of water that can be trapped between elevation heights after it rains.
This problem is best tackled using the two-pointer approach, which has O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity.
The implementation of the solution involves initializing two pointers and two variables to store the maximum height seen so far from the left and right.
Then, the algorithm compares the heights at the left and right pointers, calculates the water trapped based on the maximum heights, and moves the pointers inward until they meet.
