Max Points on a Line

描述

Given n points on a 2D plane, find the maximum number of points that lie on the same straight line.

分析

暴力枚举法。两点决定一条直线，n个点两两组合，可以得到$$\dfrac{1}{2}n(n+1)$$条直线，对每一条直线，判断n个点是否在该直线上，从而可以得到这条直线上的点的个数，选择最大的那条直线返回。复杂度O(n^3)。

上面的暴力枚举法以“边”为中心，再看另一种暴力枚举法，以每个“点”为中心，然后遍历剩余点，找到所有的斜率，如果斜率相同，那么一定共线对每个点，用一个哈希表，key 为斜率，value 为该直线上的点数，计算出哈希表后，取最大值，并更新全局最大值，最后就是结果。时间复杂度O(n^2)，空间复杂度O(n)。
