Solution: Minimum Time Visiting All Points
Understand how to compute the minimum time to visit all points in sequence by using geometric principles. Learn to optimize movement with diagonal and straight steps, and apply a linear time solution for efficient coding interview problem-solving.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an array of points, where points[i] = [xi, yi]. Your task is to determine the minimum time in seconds required to visit all the points in the given order.
Movement rules:
In one second, you can perform any one of the following:
Move vertically by one unit.
Move horizontally by one unit.
Move diagonally (1 unit vertically and 1 unit horizontally in 1 second).
You must visit the points in the exact sequence listed in the array.
You may pass through points that appear later in the order, but they will not count as visits.
Constraints:
points.length...
