Solution: Maximum Number of Visible Points
Explore how to calculate angles between coordinates to determine the maximum number of points visible from a fixed location within a specified viewing angle. Learn to use sorting, angle duplication, and the two pointers method to efficiently solve geometry problems involving visibility.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are provided with an array, points, an integer angle, and your location, where points[i] = [xi, yi] and location = [posx, posy], both representing
You initially face directly east from your fixed location and cannot move. In other words, posx and posy cannot be changed. However, you can rotate to adjust your viewing direction. Your field of view, measured in degrees, is specified by the angle, representing the width of visibility. If you rotate counterclockwise by an angle
