We will keep track of each elements in a list and their respective points count in a hashmap. Whenever we add a point, we increment the points count and also add the point in points list. We we calculate the count, we check it have a squares with that point or not, if it forms a square, then we multiply the points count of those points and add it to the result.
class DetectSquares:
def __init__(self):
self.ptsCount = defaultdict(int)
self.pts = []
def add(self, point: List[int]) -> None:
self.ptsCount[tuple(point)] += 1
self.pts.append(point)
def count(self, point: List[int]) -> int:
res = 0
px, py = point
for x, y in self.pts:
if (abs(py - y) != abs(px - x)) or x == px or y == py:
continue
res += self.ptsCount[(x, py)] * self.ptsCount[(px, y)]
return res
# Your DetectSquares object will be instantiated and called as such:
# obj = DetectSquares()
# obj.add(point)
# param_2 = obj.count(point)
