NCool

Problem statement, definition, constraints, and public examples.

Problem Statement

You are given a convex polygon and you must count the number of N-cool points. A point is N-cool if it is a lattice point covered by the polygon and also an endpoint of some N-cool segment. A line segment is N-cool if it contains at least N lattice points that are covered by the polygon. A point is considered covered by the polygon if it is inside or on the boundary of the polygon. Endpoints of a segment are considered to be inside of it. A lattice point is a point with integer coordinates.

Consider the example in the picture below. Here N is equal to 6, and there are 21 6-cool points, marked green. Also two 6-cool segments, which are colored red, are shown.

You are given int[]s x and y describing the vertices of the polygon (in no particular order). The coordinates of each vertex are specified by corresponding elements of x and y. Return the number of N-cool points.

Definition

Class:
NCool
Method:
nCoolPoints
Parameters:
int[], int[], int
Returns:
int
Method signature:
int nCoolPoints(int[] x, int[] y, int n)
(be sure your method is public)

Notes

  • A polygon is convex if it contains all the line segments connecting any pair of its points.

Constraints

  • x and y will each contain between 3 and 50 elements, inclusive.
  • x and y will contain the same number of elements.
  • All elements of x and y will be between 0 and 10000, inclusive.
  • The number of lattice points inside or on the boundary of the specified polygon will not be greater than 500000.
  • N will be between 2 and 500000, inclusive.
  • The polygon specified by x and y will be convex and will have nonzero area.

Examples

  1. {0, 1, 2, 7, 7}
    {3, 1, 6, 1, 5}
    6
    Returns: 21
    This is the example from the problem statement.
  2. {0, 1, 0}
    {0, 0, 1}
    2
    Returns: 3
    These three points form a triangle, whose sides are 2-cool segments, so all three vertices are 2-cool.
  3. {0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 2}
    {0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2}
    3
    Returns: 6
    One point can be mentioned in the input two or more times.
  4. {0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5}
    {1, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1}
    5
    Returns: 4
    There can be 3 points of the polygon, lying on the same line.
  5. {0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5}
    {1, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1}
    4
    Returns: 10
