Challenge: Closest Pair of Points

Explore how to find the closest pair of points in a 2D Euclidean plane by calculating the minimum distance using the Euclidean formula. Learn to apply the divide and conquer approach, enhancing your ability to solve geometric algorithm challenges efficiently in coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Closest Pair of Points

In a 2D Euclidean plane, the closest pair of points is the one which has the minimum distance between them.

Reminder: Distance between two points in a 2D Euclidean plane can be calculated using the Euclidean formula:

∣∣pq∣∣=sqrt[(px−qx)2+(py−qy)2]||pq|| = sqrt[(p_x - q_x)^2 + (p_y - q_y)^2]
