1266. Minimum Time Visiting All Points (Easy)

On a 2D plane, there are n points with integer coordinates points[i] = [xi, yi]. Return the minimum time in seconds to visit all the points in the order given by points.

You can move according to these rules:

• In 1 second, you can either:
  • move vertically by one unit,
  • move horizontally by one unit, or
  • move diagonally sqrt(2) units (in other words, move one unit vertically then one unit horizontally in 1 second).
• You have to visit the points in the same order as they appear in the array.
• You are allowed to pass through points that appear later in the order, but these do not count as visits.

 

Example 1:

Input: points = [[1,1],[3,4],[-1,0]]
Output: 7
Explanation: One optimal path is [1,1] -> [2,2] -> [3,3] -> [3,4] -> [2,3] -> [1,2] -> [0,1] -> [-1,0]   
Time from [1,1] to [3,4] = 3 seconds 
Time from [3,4] to [-1,0] = 4 seconds
Total time = 7 seconds

Example 2:

Input: points = [[3,2],[-2,2]]
Output: 5

 

Constraints:

• points.length == n
• 1 <= n <= 100
• points[i].length == 2
• -1000 <= points[i][0], points[i][1] <= 1000

Hints

Hint 1

To walk from point A to point B there will be an optimal strategy to walk ?

Hint 2

Advance in diagonal as possible then after that go in straight line.

Hint 3

Repeat the process until visiting all the points.
