PROBLEM:
We are given a 10 x 10 grid with rows number 1 to 10 from top to bottom and columns numbered 1 to 10 from left to right. Each cell is defined by (r, c) where r is the row number and c is the column number. Chef can move from any (a, b) to any (c, d) within this grid as long as
- a not equal to c OR
- b not equal to d
EXPLANATION:
This is an implementation problem to check basic programming skills and logic.
- We know that we can move from ANY (a, b) to ANY (c, d) within the grid as long as the conditions are satisfied.
- Distance here is not a constraint - we can move from one corner of the grid to another in a single step.
What do the 2 points above tell us? We should be able to move to any other point in the grid -
- In 1 step if the point meets the condition such that (a not equal to c) and (b not equal to d)
- In 2 steps if the point meets the condition such that (a equal to c) or (b equal to d). In this case, in the 1st step - we will move to an intermediate point (e, f) such that (a not equal to e) or (b not equal to f). From that point, we will move to (c, d)
TIME COMPLEXITY:
Time complexity is O(1).
SOLUTION:
Editorialist's Solution
t=int(input())
for _ in range(t):
sx, sy, ex, ey = map(int,input().split())
if sx==ex or sy==ey:
print(2)
else:
print(1)
