Solution: Erect the Fence
Explore how to enclose a set of points representing trees with the shortest fence by understanding and applying the Monotone Chain convex hull algorithm. Learn to sort points, construct lower and upper hulls, and combine them to identify the boundary points needed for the fence perimeter.
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...
