0973. K Closest Points to Origin

https://leetcode.com/problems/k-closest-points-to-origin

Description

Given an array of points where points[i] = [xi, yi] represents a point on the X-Y plane and an integer k, return the k closest points to the origin (0, 0).

The distance between two points on the X-Y plane is the Euclidean distance (i.e., √(x1 - x2)2 + (y1 - y2)2).

You may return the answer in any order. The answer is guaranteed to be unique (except for the order that it is in).

Example 1:

**Input:** points = [[1,3],[-2,2]], k = 1
**Output:** [[-2,2]]
**Explanation:**
The distance between (1, 3) and the origin is sqrt(10).
The distance between (-2, 2) and the origin is sqrt(8).
Since sqrt(8) < sqrt(10), (-2, 2) is closer to the origin.
We only want the closest k = 1 points from the origin, so the answer is just [[-2,2]].

Example 2:

**Input:** points = [[3,3],[5,-1],[-2,4]], k = 2
**Output:** [[3,3],[-2,4]]
**Explanation:** The answer [[-2,4],[3,3]] would also be accepted.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= k <= points.length <= 104

  • -104 < xi, yi < 104
