Table: Points
+---------------+---------+ | Column Name | Type | +---------------+---------+ | id | int | | x_value | int | | y_value | int | +---------------+---------+ id is the column with unique values for this table. Each point is represented as a 2D coordinate (x_value, y_value).
Write a solution to report all possible axis-aligned rectangles with a non-zero area that can be formed by any two points from the Points
table.
Each row in the result should contain three columns (p1, p2, area)
where:
p1
andp2
are theid
's of the two points that determine the opposite corners of a rectangle.area
is the area of the rectangle and must be non-zero.
Return the result table ordered by area
in descending order. If there is a tie, order them by p1
in ascending order. If there is still a tie, order them by p2
in ascending order.
The result format is in the following table.
Example 1:
Input: Points table: +----------+-------------+-------------+ | id | x_value | y_value | +----------+-------------+-------------+ | 1 | 2 | 7 | | 2 | 4 | 8 | | 3 | 2 | 10 | +----------+-------------+-------------+ Output: +----------+-------------+-------------+ | p1 | p2 | area | +----------+-------------+-------------+ | 2 | 3 | 4 | | 1 | 2 | 2 | +----------+-------------+-------------+ Explanation: The rectangle formed by p1 = 2 and p2 = 3 has an area equal to |4-2| * |8-10| = 4. The rectangle formed by p1 = 1 and p2 = 2 has an area equal to |2-4| * |7-8| = 2. Note that the rectangle formed by p1 = 1 and p2 = 3 is invalid because the area is 0.
# Write your MySQL query statement below
SELECT
p1.id AS p1,
p2.id AS p2,
ABS(p1.x_value - p2.x_value) * ABS(p1.y_value - p2.y_value) AS area
FROM
Points AS p1
JOIN Points AS p2 ON p1.id < p2.id
WHERE p1.x_value != p2.x_value AND p1.y_value != p2.y_value
ORDER BY area DESC, p1, p2;
