Solution: Erect the Fence
Explore how to solve the Erect the Fence coding challenge by computing the convex hull of given points. Understand the Monotone Chain algorithm to build the fence perimeter using orientation checks and cross products. This lesson teaches you to identify points on the polygon boundary, optimizing for minimum rope length to enclose all trees accurately.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an array of points, trees, where trees[i] = [xᵢ, yᵢ] represents the location of a tree on a 2D plane. Your goal is to enclose all the trees using the shortest possible length of rope, forming a fence around the garden. A garden is considered well-fenced if every tree lies inside or on the boundary of the fence (i.e., the fence forms the
Return the coordinates of the trees that lie exactly on the fence perimeter. You can return the answer in any order.
Constraints:
trees.lengthtrees[i].length==xi,yi...
