Number of pairs of lines having integer intersection points

Given two integer arrays P[] and Q[], where p_i and q_j for each 0 <= i < size(P) and 0 <= j < size(Q) represents the line equations x – y = -p_i and x + y = q_j respectively. The task is to find the number of pairs from P[] and Q[] having integer intersection points.

Examples:

Input: P[] = {1, 3, 2}, Q[] = {3, 0} 
Output: 3 
The pairs of lines (p, q) having integer intersection points are (1, 3), (2, 0) and (3, 3). Here p is the line parameter of P[] and q is the that of Q[].

Input: P[] = {1, 4, 3, 2}, Q[] = {3, 6, 10, 11} 
Output: 8 

Approach:

• The problem can be solved easily by solving the two equations and analyzing the condition for integer intersection points.
• The two equations are x – y = -p and x + y = q.
• Solving for x and y we get, x = (q-p)/2 and y = (p+q)/2.
• It is clear that integer intersection point is possible if and only if p and q have same parity.
• Let p₀ and p₁ be the number of even and odd p_i respectively.
• Similarly, q₀ and q₁ for the number of even and odd q_i respectively.
• Therefore the required answers is p₀ * q₀ + p₁ * q₁.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++

// C++ program to Number of pairs of lines
// having integer intersection points

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Count number of pairs of lines
// having integer intersection point
int countPairs(int* P, int* Q, int N, int M)
{
    // Initialize arrays to store counts
    int A[2] = { 0 }, B[2] = { 0 };

    // Count number of odd and even Pi
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        A[P[i] % 2]++;

    // Count number of odd and even Qi
    for (int i = 0; i < M; i++)
        B[Q[i] % 2]++;

    // Return the count of pairs
    return (A[0] * B[0] + A[1] * B[1]);
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int P[] = { 1, 3, 2 }, Q[] = { 3, 0 };
    int N = sizeof(P) / sizeof(P[0]);
    int M = sizeof(Q) / sizeof(Q[0]);

    cout << countPairs(P, Q, N, M);

    return 0;
}

    // Initialize arrays to store counts
    int []A = new int[2], B = new int[2];

    // Count number of odd and even Pi
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        A[P[i] % 2]++;

    // Count number of odd and even Qi
    for (int i = 0; i < M; i++)
        B[Q[i] % 2]++;

    // Return the count of pairs
    return (A[0] * B[0] + A[1] * B[1]);
}

// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int []P = { 1, 3, 2 };
    int []Q = { 3, 0 };
    int N = P.length;
    int M = Q.length;

    System.out.print(countPairs(P, Q, N, M));
}
