Solution: Minimize Manhattan Distances
Explore how to reduce the maximum Manhattan distance between points by removing exactly one point. Understand the role of coordinate sums and differences, track extreme values efficiently, and apply this insight to optimize the distance calculation using a linear time approach.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an array, points, where each element in points[i]
Your task is to determine and return the smallest possible value for the maximum distance between any two points after removing exactly one point from the array.
Constraints:
points.length...
