Given the coordinates of any two vertices of a square (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2), the task is to find the coordinates of the other two vertices. If a square cannot be formed using these two vertices, print -1.

Examples:  

Input: X1 = 1, Y1 = 2, X2 = 3, Y2 = 4 
Output: (1, 4), (3, 2) 
Explanation: 
 

From the above figure the other two vertices of the square will be (1, 4) and (3, 2).

Input: X1 = -5, Y1 = 5, X2 = 5, Y2 = -5 
Output: (-5, -5), (5, 5)

Approach: The approach is based on the fact that the length of all the sides of a square are equal. If no such vertices can be obtained for which the length of all the sides become equal, then print “-1”. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • The given two vertices can either be the vertices of the side of the square or the vertices of the diagonal.
  • If the x-coordinates of the given two vertices are equal then the coordinates of the other two vertices will be:

 (X1 + Y2 – Y1, Y1) and (X2 + Y2 – Y1, Y2

  • If the y-coordinates of the given two vertices are equal, then the coordinates of the other two vertices will be:

(X1, Y1 + X2 – X1) and (X2, Y2 + X2 – X1)

  • Otherwise, the given coordinates are of the diagonal of the square. Therefore, the coordinates of the other two vertices will be:

(X1, Y2) and (X2, Y1)

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the remaining
// vertices of a square
void findVertices(int x1, int y1,
                  int x2, int y2)
{
    // Check if the x-coordinates
    // are equal
    if (x1 == x2) {
        cout << (x1 + y2 - y1)
             << ", " << y1 << endl;
 
        cout << (x2 + y2 - y1)
             << ", " << y2;
    }
 
    // Check if the y-coordinates
    // are equal
    else if (y1 == y2) {
        cout << x1 << ", "
             << (y1 + x2 - x1)
             << endl;
 
        cout << x2 << ", "
             << (y2 + x2 - x1);
    }
 
    // If the given coordinates
    // forms a diagonal of the square
    else if (abs(x2 - x1)
             == abs(y2 - y1)) {
 
        cout << x1 << ", " << y2
             << endl;
        cout << x2 << ", " << y1;
    }
 
    // Otherwise
    else
 
        // Square does not exist
        cout << "-1";
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given two vertices
    int x1 = 1, y1 = 2;
    int x2 = 3, y2 = 4;
    findVertices(x1, y1, x2, y2);
 
    return 0;
}
