About the pattern
The Math and Geometry pattern focuses on coding problems involving mathematical concepts, geometric properties, and coordinate systems. These challenges often require analyzing numbers, points, lines, angles, and shapes in 2D or 3D space. A strong command of this pattern helps you tackle tasks related to distances, areas, and coordinate-based computations.
Some of the core topics under this pattern are listed below:
Elementary number theory: This focuses on integer properties and relationships. For example:
Greatest common divisor (GCD): To calculate the GCD of two numbers
