2013. Detect Squares

Description

You are given a stream of points on the X-Y plane. Design an algorithm that:

Adds new points from the stream into a data structure. Duplicate points are allowed and should be treated as different points.
Given a query point, counts the number of ways to choose three points from the data structure such that the three points and the query point form an axis-aligned square with positive area.

An axis-aligned square is a square whose edges are all the same length and are either parallel or perpendicular to the x-axis and y-axis.

Implement the DetectSquares class:

DetectSquares() Initializes the object with an empty data structure.
void add(int[] point) Adds a new point point = [x, y] to the data structure.
int count(int[] point) Counts the number of ways to form axis-aligned squares with point point = [x, y] as described above.

Example 1:

Input
["DetectSquares", "add", "add", "add", "count", "count", "add", "count"]
[[], [[3, 10]], [[11, 2]], [[3, 2]], [[11, 10]], [[14, 8]], [[11, 2]], [[11, 10]]]
Output
[null, null, null, null, 1, 0, null, 2]

Explanation
DetectSquares detectSquares = new DetectSquares();
detectSquares.add([3, 10]);
detectSquares.add([11, 2]);
detectSquares.add([3, 2]);
detectSquares.count([11, 10]); // return 1. You can choose:
// - The first, second, and third points
detectSquares.count([14, 8]); // return 0. The query point cannot form a square with any points in the data structure.
detectSquares.add([11, 2]); // Adding duplicate points is allowed.
detectSquares.count([11, 10]); // return 2. You can choose:
// - The first, second, and third points
// - The first, third, and fourth points

Constraints:

point.length == 2
0 <= x, y <= 1000
At most 3000 calls in total will be made to add and count.

Solutions

Solution 1: Hash Table

We can use a hash table $cnt$ to maintain all the information of the points, where $cnt[x][y]$ represents the count of point $(x, y)$.

When calling the $add(x, y)$ method, we increase the value of $cnt[x][y]$ by $1$.

When calling the $count(x_1, y_1)$ method, we need to get three other points to form an axis-aligned square. We can enumerate the point $(x_2, y_1)$ that is parallel to the $x$-axis and at a distance $d$ from $(x_1, y_1)$. If such a point exists, based on these two points, we can determine the other two points as $(x_1, y_1 + d)$ and $(x_2, y_1 + d)$, or $(x_1, y_1 - d)$ and $(x_2, y_1 - d)$. We can add up the number of schemes for these two situations.

In terms of time complexity, the time complexity of calling the $add(x, y)$ method is $O(1)$, and the time complexity of calling the $count(x_1, y_1)$ method is $O(n)$; the space complexity is $O(n)$. Here, $n$ is the number of points in the data stream.
