Given an array arr[][] consisting of pair of integers denoting coordinates. The task is to count the total number of rectangles that can be formed using given coordinates. 

Examples:

Input: arr[][] = {{0, 0}, {0, 1}, {1, 0}, {1, 1}, {2, 0}, {2, 1}, {11, 11}}
Output: 3
Explanation: Following are the rectangles formed using given coordinates. 
First Rectangle (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1)
Second Rectangle (0, 0), (0, 1), (2, 0), (2, 1)
Third Rectangle (1, 0), (1, 1), (2, 0), (2, 1)

Input: arr[][] = {{10, 0}, {0, 10}, {11, 11}, {0, 11}, {12, 10}}
Output: 0  
Explanation: No Rectangles can be formed using these co-ordinates

 

Approach: This problem can be solved by using the property of the rectangle and Hash maps. If two coordinates of a rectangle are known then the other two remaining coordinates can be easily determined. For every pair of coordinates find the other two coordinates that can form a rectangle. 

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++




// C++ program for above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find number of possible rectangles
int countRectangles(vector<pair<int, int> >& ob)
{
 
    // Creating TreeSet containing elements
    set<pair<int, int> > it;
 
    // Inserting the pairs in the set
    for (int i = 0; i < ob.size(); ++i) {
        it.insert(ob[i]);
    }
 
    int ans = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < ob.size(); ++i)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < ob.size(); ++j)
        {
            if (ob[i].first != ob[j].first
                && ob[i].second != ob[j].second)
            {
               
                // Searching the pairs in the set
                if (it.count({ ob[i].first, ob[j].second })
                    && it.count(
                        { ob[j].first, ob[i].second }))
                {
                   
                    // Increase the answer
                    ++ans;
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    // Return the final answer
    return ans / 4;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
 
    int N = 7;
    vector<pair<int, int> > ob(N);
 
    // Inserting the pairs
    ob[0] = { 0, 0 };
    ob[1] = { 1, 0 };
    ob[2] = { 1, 1 };
    ob[3] = { 0, 1 };
    ob[4] = { 2, 0 };
    ob[5] = { 2, 1 };
    ob[6] = { 11, 23 };
 
    cout << countRectangles(ob);
 
    return 0;
}
