花花酱 LeetCode 1232. Check If It Is a Straight Line

You are given an array coordinatescoordinates[i] = [x, y], where [x, y] represents the coordinate of a point. Check if these points make a straight line in the XY plane.

Example 1:

Input: coordinates = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5],[5,6],[6,7]]
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: coordinates = [[1,1],[2,2],[3,4],[4,5],[5,6],[7,7]]
Output: false

Constraints:

  • 2 <= coordinates.length <= 1000
  • coordinates[i].length == 2
  • -10^4 <= coordinates[i][0], coordinates[i][1] <= 10^4
  • coordinates contains no duplicate point.

Solution: Slope and Hashset

This is not a easy problem, a few corner cases:

  • dx == 0
  • dy == 0
  • dx < 0

Basically we are counting (dx / gcd(dx, dy), dy / gcd(dx, dy)). We will have only ONE entry if all the points are on the same line.

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1) w/ early exit.
