1637. Widest Vertical Area Between Two Points Containing No Points

Given n points on a 2D plane where points[i] = [xi, yi], Return the widest vertical area between two points such that no points are inside the area.

A vertical area is an area of fixed-width extending infinitely along the y-axis (i.e., infinite height). The widest vertical area is the one with the maximum width.

Note that points on the edge of a vertical area are not considered included in the area.

 

Example 1:

​

Input: points = [[8,7],[9,9],[7,4],[9,7]]
Output: 1
Explanation: Both the red and the blue area are optimal.

Example 2:

Input: points = [[3,1],[9,0],[1,0],[1,4],[5,3],[8,8]]
Output: 3

 

Constraints:

• n == points.length
• 2 <= n <= 105
• points[i].length == 2
• 0 <= xi, yi <= 109

Rust Solution

struct Solution;

use std::collections::HashSet;

impl Solution {
    fn max_width_of_vertical_area(points: Vec<Vec<i32>>) -> i32 {
        let mut x_set: HashSet<i32> = HashSet::new();
        for point in points {
            x_set.insert(point[0]);
        }
        let mut x_arr: Vec<i32> = x_set.into_iter().collect();
        x_arr.sort_unstable();
        let mut res = 0;
        for w in x_arr.windows(2) {
            res = res.max(w[1] - w[0]);
        }
        res
    }
}

    let res = 3;
    assert_eq!(Solution::max_width_of_vertical_area(points), res);
