PROBLEM:

There are three distinct points - A, B, C in the X-Y plane. Initially, you are located at point A. You want to reach the point C satisfying the following conditions:

  • You have to go through point B.
  • You can move in any of the four axis-parallel directions (+X, -X, +Y, -Y direction). However, you can make at most one turn in the path from A to C.

Determine if it is possible to reach the destination C satisfying the above conditions.

EXPLANATION:

Let us see when it is possible to reach poin C satisfying all the conditions:

Claim 1: Point B should lie between point A and point C

Proof

Let us prove this by contradiction. Suppose we have co-ordiantes of point B as (x_B, y_B) such that x_B doesn’t lies bewteen x_A and x_C. Similarly y_B doesn’t lies between y_A and y_C.

Now let’s see what will happen for co-ordinate x_B :

First we start from co-ordinate x_A and can reach to co-ordinate x_B without any turn. But after reaching co-ordinate x_B we need to go to co-ordinate x_C, for that we need to change our direction by 180 ^ \circ which is not allowed. Hence we need 2 turns of 90 ^ \circ to reach to point x_C from x_B

Similarly we can see for the y co-ordinate. Hence if point B doesn’t lies between point A and point C then it would pe never possible to reach point C satisfying all the conditions.

Now if the above condition is satisfied then there one more condition should be satisfied:

Claim 2: Atleast one of the co-ordinate of point B should be equal to the respective co-ordinate of point A or point C

Proof

Let us again prove this by contradiction. Suppose we have co-ordiantes of point B as (x_B, y_B) such that x_B is neither equal to x_A nor x_C. Similarly y_B is neither equal to y_A nor y_C.

  • To reach from point A to point B we need exactly one turn of 90 ^ \circ. As we can reach to co-ordinate x_B from co-ordinate x_A without any turn, but then we need to change our direction to reach to co-ordinate y_B.

  • Similary we need exactly one turn of 90 ^ \circ to reach point C from point A.

Hence there should be atleast one of the co-ordinate of point B should be equal to the respective co-ordinate of point A or point C

If both the conditions are satisfied then only it is possible to reach the condition C satisfying the all conditions.

Where should this fail and are there any redundancies:

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define ll long long

int main() {
int t;cin>>t;
while(t–)
{
ll xa,ya,xb,yb,xc,yc;

 cin>>xa>>ya>>xb>>yb>>xc>>yc;
  int ch=0;
  if((xa!=xb)&&(ya!=yb))ch++;
  if((xc!=xb)&&(yb!=yc))ch++;
  if(((xa-xb)*(xb-xc))<0)ch++;
  if(((ya-yb)*(yb-yc))<0)ch++;
  
  if(ch>1)cout<<"NO\n";
  else cout<<"YES\n";

}
}

PS: It was accepted but I think somethings wrong

Can anyone help me give testcases, where my code will fail, Plz I tried to debug a lot.

What is th mistake in my code. It is showing WRONG ANSWER.
Can any one please help.

Why is this code giving WA.
Here it is:

/* package codechef; // don't place package name! */

import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;

/* Name of the class has to be "Main" only if the class is public. */
class Codechef {
    public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int t = sc.nextInt();
        while (t-- > 0) {
            int ax = sc.nextInt();
            int ay = sc.nextInt();
            int bx = sc.nextInt();
            int by = sc.nextInt();
            int cx = sc.nextInt();
            int cy = sc.nextInt();
            if (((ax == bx && bx == cx && ax == cx) && ((ay < by && by < cy) || (ay > by && by > cy))) || ((ay == by && by == cy && ay == cy) && ((ax > bx && bx > cx) || (ax < bx && bx < cx)))) {
                System.out.println("YES");
            } else if ((ax == bx && by == cy) || (ay == by && bx == cx)) {
                System.out.println("YES");
            } else {
                System.out.println("NO");
            }
        }
    }
}

Can Anyone suggest some cases where this gets fails.

in the author’s code for the solution of the problem ,
can someone give the test covered by the last if else :neutral_face:

sahi toh hai…

Here’s my solution CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone . Hope it helps :slight_smile:

I am not able to solve it please help. Thanks in advance

Given an array with min length of 8, choose 2 groups of 2 numbers such that in each group, the two numbers must not be adjacent. Multiply the numbers in both groups and subtract one from other. Maximize this result Ex: 2,1,3,4,8,6,7,9 2 groups → 1,4 & 6,9 → Diff = 54-4 = 50
