K Closest Points to Origin

intermediatelayer I3 · Heaps & priority queues5 tests

Given an array of points as [x, y] pairs, return the k points closest to the origin [0, 0].

  • Distance is the usual Euclidean distance — but you can compare x*x + y*y directly and skip the square root
  • The answer may be returned in any order
  • The inputs have no ties on the boundary, so the answer set is unique
  • A MinHeap class is already written for you in the starter — you only need the algorithm
