2345. Finding the Number of Visible Mountains 🔒

Description

You are given a 0-indexed 2D integer array peaks where peaks[i] = [xi, yi] states that mountain i has a peak at coordinates (xi, yi). A mountain can be described as a right-angled isosceles triangle, with its base along the x-axis and a right angle at its peak. More formally, the gradients of ascending and descending the mountain are 1 and -1 respectively.

A mountain is considered visible if its peak does not lie within another mountain (including the border of other mountains).

Return the number of visible mountains.

 

Example 1:

Input: peaks = [[2,2],[6,3],[5,4]]
Output: 2
Explanation: The diagram above shows the mountains.
- Mountain 0 is visible since its peak does not lie within another mountain or its sides.
- Mountain 1 is not visible since its peak lies within the side of mountain 2.
- Mountain 2 is visible since its peak does not lie within another mountain or its sides.
There are 2 mountains that are visible.

Example 2:

Input: peaks = [[1,3],[1,3]]
Output: 0
Explanation: The diagram above shows the mountains (they completely overlap).
Both mountains are not visible since their peaks lie within each other.

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= peaks.length <= 105
• peaks[i].length == 2
• 1 <= xi, yi <= 105
