Find a point that lies inside exactly K given squares

Given an integer K and an array arr each of whose element x represents a square with two of its vertices as (0, 0) and (x, x). The task is to find a point which lies in exactly K squares.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}, K = 2
Output: (3, 3)
The point (3, 3) lies inside 3rd and 4th square only.

Input: arr[] = {8, 1, 55, 90}, K = 3
Output: (8, 8)



Approach: Since all squares have a common corner point (0, 0), any point which lies in any square would also lie in any larger square. Hence, we can simply print the other corner of the Kth largest square.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

{
    sort(a, a + n);
    return a[n - k];
}
  
// Driver Program to test above function
int main()
{
    int k = 2;
    int a[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
  
    int x = PointInKSquares(n, a, k);
    cout << "(" << x << ", " << x << ")";
}
