Codeforces 529C - Rooks and Rectangles

Problem Statement:
529C - Rooks and Rectangles

Solution:
Just learnt a new technique for solving a segment tree problem, which involves an idea in computational geometry referred to as vertical/horizontal sweeping. To solve the problem effectively we need the following observation: a rectangle is well defended if (1) either every row of that rectangle contains a rook, or (2) every column in that rectangle contains a rook. We can check these two cases (1) and (2) separately. Let's focus on one of them.



We will follow the notation in the problem, where x denotes the column wise index, while y is the row indices. First we sort all the rectangles in x direction, by using their x2 values, and also similarly sort the rooks by their x values. Then left to right, we consider the rectangle one by one:
1. Let rightmost[y] be the rightmost rook in row y. Update rightmost[y] for all y using all rooks with x <= x2 of the current rectangle.
2. Then the current rectangle is well defended if rightmost[y] >= x1 for all y1 <= y <= y2. This is equivalent to saying that the minimum rightmost[y] in segment y1 and y2 must be at least x1. This can be checked efficiently using a segment tree.

Repeat the same procedure in the y direction, and as long as a rectangle satisfies one of the checks, output YES.

Implementation: (PS square in the code actually denotes an array of rectangles)
