Find the number of p-sided squares in a grid with K blacks painted

Given a grid of size H*W with all cells initially white. Given N pairs (i, j) in an array, for each pair, paint cell (i, j) with black colour. The task is to determine how many squares of size p×p of the grid contains exactly K black cells, after N cells being painted.

Examples: 

Input: H = 4, W = 5,
      N = 8, K = 4, p = 3 
      arr=[ (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 4), (4, 4), 
            (1, 5), (2, 3), (1, 1), (1, 4) ]
Output: 4
Cells that are being painted are shown in the figure below:
Here p = 3. 
There are six subrectangles of size 3*3. 
Two of them contain three black cells each, 
and the remaining four contain four black cells each.

Input: H = 1, W = 1, 
       N = 1, K = 1, p = 1
       arr=[ (1, 1) ]
Output: 1

Approach:

• First thing to observe is that one p*p sub-grid will be different from the other if their starting points are different.
• Second thing is that if the cell is painted black, it will contribute to p^2 different p*p sub-grids.
• For example, suppose cell [i, j] is painted black. Then it will contribute additional +1 to all the subgrids having starting point 
  [i-p+1][j-p+1] to [i, j].
• Since there can be at most N blacks, for each black cell do p*p iterations and update its contribution for each p*p sub-grids.
• Keep a map to keep track of answer for each cell of the grid.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

                    return true;
