[LeetCode] 812. Largest Triangle Area #812

Open

Description

@grandyang

 

You have a list of points in the plane. Return the area of the largest triangle that can be formed by any 3 of the points.

Example:
Input: points = [[0,0],[0,1],[1,0],[0,2],[2,0]]
Output: 2
Explanation: 
The five points are show in the figure below. The red triangle is the largest.

Notes:

  • 3 <= points.length <= 50.
  • No points will be duplicated.
  •  -50 <= points[i][j] <= 50.
  • Answers within 10^-6 of the true value will be accepted as correct.

 

这道题给了我们一系列的二维平面上的点,让我们找出任意三个点能组成的最大三角形的面积。那么我们只能遍历所有的三角形面积,然后找出最大的那个。貌似这道题也没有啥特别简便的方法,不遍历不行啊。遍历任意三个点简单,问题来了,如何通过三个顶点的坐标求出三角形面积,这个可就是初中几何题了,博主也不记得,只能上网搜一波。就是用下面这个公式即可:

这里面三个顶点分别是(x1, y1),(x2, y2),(x3, y3),有了公式后,本题就没有什么难点了,参见代码如下:

 

解法一:

class Solution {
public:
    double largestTriangleArea(vector<vector<int>>& points) {
        double res = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < points.size(); ++i) {
            for (int j = i + 1; j < points.size(); ++j) {
                for (int k = j + 1; k < points.size(); ++k) {
                    int x1 = points[i][0], y1 = points[i][1];
                    int x2 = points[j][0], y2 = points[j][1];
                    int x3 = points[k][0], y3 = points[k][1];
                    double area = abs(0.5 * (x2 * y3 + x1 * y2 + x3 * y1 - x3 * y2 - x2 * y1 - x1 * y3));
                    res = max(res, area);
                }
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
};

 

我们也可以稍稍简化一下上面的写法,但是解题思路没有任何区别,参见代码如下:

 

解法二:

class Solution {
public:
    double largestTriangleArea(vector<vector<int>>& points) {
        double res = 0;
        for (auto &i : points) {
            for (auto &j : points) {
                for (auto &k : points) {
                    res = max(res, 0.5 * abs(i[0] * j[1] + j[0] * k[1] + k[0] * i[1]- j[0] * i[1] - k[0] * j[1] - i[0] * k[1]));
                }
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
};
