Solution: Erect the Fence
Understand how to solve the fence erection problem by computing the convex hull of a set of points. Learn to apply sorting, cross product orientation, and the Monotone Chain algorithm to identify boundary points forming the minimal enclosing fence. This lesson guides you through constructing lower and upper hulls to enclose all points efficiently.
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:
