Count number of triangles cut by the given horizontal and vertical line segments

Given an array triangles[][] consisting of N triangles of the form {x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3} and an array cuts[] consisting of M horizontal and vertical lines of the form “X=x” or “Y=y” which represents the equation of the line segments. The task is to print the number of triangles intersected by each cut in such a way that the left and the right parts of the triangle should have areas greater than zero.

Examples:

Input: N = 2, triangles[][] = {{0, 2, 2, 9, 8, 5}, {5, 0, 6, 3, 7, 0}}, M = 3, cuts[] = {“X=2”, “Y=2”, “Y=9”}
Output: 1 1 0
Explanation: 
The cut at X = 2 divides the first triangle having vertices (0, 2), (2, 9) and (8, 5)
The cut at Y = 2 divides the second triangle having vertices (5, 0), (6, 3) and  (7, 0)
The cut at Y = 9 divides none of the triangles.

Input: N = 2, triangles[][] = {{0, 2, 2, 9, 8, 5}}, M = 3, cuts[] = {“X=7”, “Y=7”, “X=9”}
Output: 1 1 0
Explanation:
The cut at X = 2 divides the first triangle having vertices (0, 2), (2, 9) and (8, 5)
The cut at Y = 2 divides the second triangle having vertices (5, 0), (6, 3) and (7, 0)
The cut at Y = 9 divides none of the triangles.

Approach: Below is the conditions for a line segment to divide a triangle into two parts having non-zero areas:

• If a cut is made at X-axis and it lies strictly in between the minimum and the maximum X coordinate of a triangle, then it divides the triangle in such a way that the left and the right parts should have areas greater than zero.
• Similarly, If a cut is made at Y-axis and it lies strictly in between the minimum and the maximum Y coordinate of a triangle, then it divides the triangle in such a way that the left and the right parts should have areas greater than zero.

Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

1. Create a structure to store the maximum and minimum X and Y coordinates for each triangle.
2. Traverse the array cuts[] array over the range [0, M – 1].
3. For each cut, initialize a counter count with 0 to store the answer for the current cut and start traversing the triangles[] array from j = 0 to N – 1.
4. Check for each triangle, cuts[i] is in the form X=x i.e., vertical cut and x strictly lies in between the maximum and the minimum X coordinate of i^th triangle, increment the counter count otherwise continue checking other triangles for each cut.
5. After calculating the answer for cuts[i], print count.
6. Repeat the steps above for each cut and print the count of triangle cut by each line.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

    // Given coordinates of triangles
    let triangles = [[0, 2, 2, 9, 8, 5], [5, 0, 6, 3, 7, 0]];

    // Given cuts of lines
