You have a list of points in the plane. Return the area of the largest triangle that can be formed by any 3 of the points.
Example:
Input: points = [[0,0],[0,1],[1,0],[0,2],[2,0]]
Output: 2
Explanation:
The five points are show in the figure below. The red triangle is the largest.
Notes:
3 <= points.length <= 50.
No points will be duplicated.
-50 <= points[i][j] <= 50.
Answers within 10^-6 of the true value will be accepted as correct.
class Solution {
public double largestTriangleArea(int[][] points) {
int N = points.length;
double ans = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
for (int j = i+1; j < N; ++j)
for (int k = j+1; k < N; ++k)
ans = Math.max(ans, area(points[i], points[j], points[k]));
return ans;
}
public double area(int[] P, int[] Q, int[] R) {
return 0.5 * Math.abs(P[0]*Q[1] + Q[0]*R[1] + R[0]*P[1]
-P[1]*Q[0] - Q[1]*R[0] - R[1]*P[0]);
}
