DIY: Minimum Area Rectangle

Understand how to determine the smallest rectangle from a set of points with sides aligned to X and Y axes. This lesson helps you implement a function to compute minimum area or return zero if no rectangle exists, enhancing your problem-solving skills for technical interviews.

Problem statement

Given an array of points in the X-Y plane points, where points[i] = [xi, yi], you have to return the minimum area of a rectangle formed from these points, with sides parallel to the X and Y axes. If there is no such rectangle that can be formed, you ...
