149. Max Points on a Line

Given n points on a 2D plane, find the maximum number of points that lie on the same straight line.

Solution:

/**
 * Definition for a point.
 * type Point struct {
 *     X int
 *     Y int
 * }
 */
func maxPoints(points []Point) int {
    max := 0
    l := len(points)
    for i := 0; i < l; i++ {
        for j := i + 1; j < l; j++ {
            p1 := points[i]
            p2 := points[j]

            dx := p1.X - p2.X
            dy := p1.Y - p2.Y

            if dx == 0 && dy == 0 {
                continue
            }
            cnt := 0
            for _, p := range points {
                _x := p.X - p2.X
                _y := p.Y - p2.Y
                if _x*dy == _y*dx {
                    cnt++
                }
            }
            if cnt > max {
                max = cnt
            }
        }
    }
    if max == 0 {
        return len(points)
    }
    return max
}
