Problem Statement
	Given the width and height of a rectangular grid, return the total number of rectangles (NOT counting squares) that can be found on this grid. For example, width = 3, height = 3 (see diagram below): __ __ __ |__|__|__| |__|__|__| |__|__|__| In this grid, there are 4 2x3 rectangles, 6 1x3 rectangles and 12 1x2 rectangles. Thus there is a total of 4 + 6 + 12 = 22 rectangles. Note we don't count 1x1, 2x2 and 3x3 rectangles because they are squares.
Definition
	Class: RectangularGrid Method: countRectangles Parameters: int, int Returns: long Method signature: long countRectangles(int width, int height) (be sure your method is public)
Notes
-	rectangles with equals sides (squares) should not be counted.
Constraints
-	width and height will be between 1 and 1000 inclusive.
Examples
0)
	3 3 Returns: 22 See above
1)
	5 2 Returns: 31 __ __ __ __ __ |__|__|__|__|__| |__|__|__|__|__| In this grid, there is one 2x5 rectangle, 2 2x4 rectangles, 2 1x5 rectangles, 3 2x3 rectangles, 4 1x4 rectangles, 6 1x3 rectangles and 13 1x2 rectangles. Thus there is a total of 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 13 = 31 rectangles.
2)
	10 10 Returns: 2640
3)
	1 1 Returns: 0
4)
	592 964 Returns: 81508708664

这道题开始写了4个for循环，结果运行592*964的时候，就卡在那里了，

这个没通过

package srms1_20_r5;

public class RectangularGrid2 {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		long l = countRectangles(5, 2);
		System.out.println(l);

	}

	public static long countRectangles(int width, int height) {
		long num = 0;
		int stepWidth, stepHeight, x, y, endWidth, endHeight;
		for (int i = 1; i <= width; i++) {
			stepWidth = i;
			x = 0;
			for (; x + stepWidth <= width; x++) {
				endWidth = x + stepWidth;
				for (int j = 1; j <= height; j++) {
					if (j == i)
						continue;
					stepHeight = j;
					y = 0;
					for (; y + stepHeight <= height; y++) {
						num++;
					}

				}
			}

		}

		return num;

	}
}

后来想想，换了一套思路,确实容易了不少

public class RectangularGrid {



	public  long countRectangles(int width, int height) {
		long num = 0;
		long w[] = new long[width];
		long h[] = new long[height];

		for (int i = 0; i < width; i++)
			w[i] = width - i;
		for (int j = 0; j < height; j++)
			h[j] = height - j;
		for (int i = 0; i < width; i++)
			for (int j = 0; j < height; j++)
				if (i == j)
					continue;
				else
					num += w[i] * h[j];
		return num;

	}
}
