You are given n checkpoints in (x , y) plane . you have to choose any two pairs i , j (j can be = i ) such that (xj-xi) + (yj-yi) = k
How to solve it in O(n) time .
N = 1e5 .
xi, yi = -1e9 , 1e9
Any idea.
example :
N = 4
(-2 , 2 ) , (0 , 3) , (1 ,2 ) , (1, 2)
k = 0 .
ans = 10
pairs are (1,1) (2,2) (3,3) (4,4) , (2,3) , (2,4) , (3,2) , (3,4) , (4,2) , (4,3)
