Given two arrays X[] and Y[] with n-elements, where (Xi, Yi) represent a point on coordinate system, find the smallest rectangle such that all points from given input lie inside that rectangle and sides of rectangle must be parallel to Coordinate axis. Print all four coordinates of an obtained rectangle. 
Note: n >= 4 (we have at least 4 points as input).
Examples : 
 

Input : X[] = {1, 3, 0, 4},  y[] = {2, 1, 0, 2}
Output : {0, 0}, {0, 2}, {4, 2}, {4, 0}

Input : X[] = {3, 6, 1, 9, 13, 0, 4}, Y[] = {4, 2, 6, 5, 2, 3, 1}
Output : {0, 1}, {0, 6}, {13, 6}, {13, 1} 

For finding the smallest rectangle you may take two of basic approach : 
 

  1. Consider origin of coordinate plane as the smallest rectangle and then step by step keep expanding it as per the value of coordinates of points if they don’t lie inside the current rectangle. This concept requires a little of complex logic to find the exact smallest rectangle.
  2. A very simple and efficient logic behind this is to find the smallest, as well as largest x & y coordinates among all given points and then the all possible four combinations of these values, result in the four points of the required rectangle as {Xmin, Ymin}, {Xmin, Ymax}, {Xmax, Ymax}, {Xmax, Ymin}.

// function to print coordinate of smallest rectangle
void printRect(int X[], int Y[], int n)
{
    // find Xmax and Xmin
    int Xmax = *max_element(X, X + n);
    int Xmin = *min_element(X, X + n);
  
    // find Ymax and Ymin
    int Ymax = *max_element(Y, Y + n);
    int Ymin = *min_element(Y, Y + n);
  
    // print all four coordinates
    cout << "{" << Xmin << ", " << Ymin << "}" << endl;
    cout << "{" << Xmin << ", " << Ymax << "}" << endl;

function printRect(X, Y, n)
{
    // find Xmax and Xmin
    var Xmax = X.reduce((a,b) => Math.max(a,b));
    var Xmin = X.reduce((a,b) => Math.min(a,b));
  
    // find Ymax and Ymin
    var Ymax =  Y.reduce((a,b) => Math.max(a,b));
    var Ymin = Y.reduce((a,b) => Math.min(a,b));
  
    // print all four coordinates
    document.write( "{" + Xmin + ", " + Ymin + "}" + "<br>");
    document.write( "{" + Xmin + ", " + Ymax + "}" + "<br>");
    document.write( "{" + Xmax + ", " + Ymax + "}" + "<br>");
    document.write( "{" + Xmax + ", " + Ymin + "}" + "<br>");
}
  
// driver program
var X = [ 4, 3, 6, 1, -1, 12 ];
var Y = [ 4, 1, 10, 3, 7, -1 ];
var n = X.length;
   
printRect(X, Y, n);
   
</script>


Output: 

{-1, -1}
{-1, 10}
{12, 10}
{12, -1}

 

Time complexity: O(len(X)+len(Y))

space complexity: O(1)
