Description

You are given an array points where points[i] = [xi, yi] represents the coordinates of a point on an infinite plane.

Your task is to find the maximum area of a rectangle that:

  • Can be formed using four of these points as its corners.
  • Does not contain any other point inside or on its border.
  • Has its edges parallel to the axes.

Return the maximum area that you can obtain or -1 if no such rectangle is possible.

 

Example 1:

Input: points = [[1,1],[1,3],[3,1],[3,3]]

Output: 4

Explanation:

Example 1 diagram

We can make a rectangle with these 4 points as corners and there is no other point that lies inside or on the border. Hence, the maximum possible area would be 4.

Example 2:

Input: points = [[1,1],[1,3],[3,1],[3,3],[2,2]]

Output: -1

Explanation:

Example 2 diagram

There is only one rectangle possible is with points [1,1], [1,3], [3,1] and [3,3] but [2,2] will always lie inside it. Hence, returning -1.

Example 3:

Input: points = [[1,1],[1,3],[3,1],[3,3],[1,2],[3,2]]

Output: 2

Explanation:

Example 3 diagram

The maximum area rectangle is formed by the points [1,3], [1,2], [3,2], [3,3], which has an area of 2. Additionally, the points [1,1], [1,2], [3,1], [3,2] also form a valid rectangle with the same area.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= points.length <= 10
  • points[i].length == 2
  • 0 <= xi, yi <= 100
  • All the given points are unique.

Hints

Hint 1
If <code>(x1, y1)</code> and <code>(x2, y2)</code> are two opposite corners of a rectangle, then the other two would be <code>(x1, y2)</code> and <code>(x2, y1)</code>.
Hint 2
Fix two points and find the other two using a set data structure.
Hint 3
After determining the rectangle, iterate through the array of points to ensure no point lies on the rectangle’s border or within its interior.
