K Closest Points to Origin
We have a list of points on the plane. Find the K closest points to the origin (0, 0).
(Here, the distance between two points on a plane is the Euclidean distance.)
You may return the answer in any order. The answer is guaranteed to be unique (except for the order that it is in.)
Example
Input: points = [[1,3],[-2,2]], K = 1
Output: [[-2,2]]
Explanation:
The distance between (1, 3) and the origin is sqrt(10).
The distance between (-2, 2) and the origin is sqrt(8).
Since sqrt(8) < sqrt(10), (-2, 2) is closer to the origin.
We only want the closest K = 1 points from the origin, so the answer is just [[-2,2]].
Solution
class Solution:
def kClosest(self, points: List[List[int]], K: int) -> List[List[int]]:
return heapq.nsmallest(K, points, lambda x: x[0] * x[0] + x[1] * x[1])
